Aren’t airdrops parachuted in? I’m not trying to be a dick, but people didn’t have time to move out of the way?
The chutes didn’t open. There’s video. Having a heavy pallet crash through your roof can cause death. We’re talking maybe half the weight of a car, traveling at faster than freeway speed.
And I still struggle to belive that drop found it’s “target”. It’s so stupid.
It’s why I have trouble believing this even happened. It’s absurd.
If it’s what I imagine to be massive pallets of equipment, people could wrongly be under the impression that these drops will float down like feathers when in reality they’re like a low-speed automobile collision. So as they approach the ground their speed and drift may catch some off-guard.
Additionally as the article points out, some drops have broken apart or their parachutes do not deploy.
The very idea of this happening is so ridiculous that I almost don’t believe it. It’s like some Looney Toons shit.
