… at least once."— Howard Tayler, Schlock Mercenary And once was it for this Humvee: link Oops. Bet that parachute crew is getting more command attention than they ever wanted to have… |

Jeez! Someone's gonna get skinned. I couldn't help but think of this when I saw the report: YouTube link Like a famous general once said, "HEADS WILL ROLL!!". God help 'em. |

The French parachuted a 7 ton bulldozer in at Dien Bien Phu that freed itself from its parachute and plummeted to the ground burying itself about 10 feet down. |

"As God is my witness, I swear I thought Humvees could fly!" Is that the crew's defense, Saginaw? |

Here is a not safe for work version of the video. I particularly like the comment of "The Army says nobody was hurt, and it's investigating not only what went wrong. But also who shot the video." link |

"As God is my witness, I swear I thought Humvees could fly!" Is that the crew's defense, Saginaw? Well, they gotta start somewhere, Parzival! |

It's not the fall that's the problem. It's the sudden stop at the end. "As God is my witness, I swear I thought Humvees could fly!" That reference was also my first thought. It was also my dad's favourite quote from that show. |
