Military leadership is baffled by how this accident occurred: as they have repeatedly stressed, the equipment used in the operation, including the humvees that were destroyed, were thoroughly inspected beforehand to make sure they were secure. Let’s hope that the investigation gets to the bottom of this disturbing incident:
‘The specific malfunctions that occurred on this day are under investigation,’ Martinez said in an email to Army Times. ‘There were multiple rehearsals and inspections of the equipment prior to mission execution. We cannot speculate on what went wrong until the investigation is complete.’
Martinez also hinted at the severity of the issue, writing in a subsequent email that ‘this investigation will receive the highest priority.’
The video, viewed more than 1 million times since U.S. Army W.T.F! moments posted it to Facebook, shows a couple of planes pass and drop their cargo without incident. The third plane’s first item, one of the ill-fated vehicles, has it’s parachute deploy initially. But a few seconds after it leaves the aircraft, it slips free and falls off its platform.
Someone standing near the camera seems to instantly recognize what is happening, yelling ‘Ooo, Yeah! Yes!’ as it slips. The person in the video laughs as the free-falling Humvee crashes into the ground and kicks up a cloud of smoke. About 30 seconds after the first impact, the second vehicle slips free of its platform and rigging and plummets as well.”

I’d bet dollars to donuts that one/all of the dead knew too much about either Ojackass or Killary….
You may want to take time to read the article nobody died
Glad to hear it….I’m just tired of hearing about the trail of dead bodies….
This was just another way of the military dump the junk to re-allocate their budgetary needs and future defense funding of needs! I guarantee someone was told to do take this action!
