Watch the Army lose a perfectly good Humvee in the latest airdrop gone wrong
Jeff Schogol - Yesterday 1:54 PM
No matter how many times that troops practice airdrops, there’s always the chance that something could go wrong, and that’s exactly what happened recently when a Humvee slipped out of its parachute after it was dropped from an Air Force C-17 over Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Thankfully, no paratroopers were hurt in the incident, said Army Lt. Col. Brett Lea, a spokesman for the 82nd Airborne Division.
"On Oct. 14, a military vehicle being airdropped at Sicily Drop Zone during an airborne operation potentially sustained a tear in one of its suspension slings due to the platform rotating upon exit, which resulted in an accelerated drop and severe damage to the vehicle,” Lea told Task & Purpose. “The incident is currently under investigation."
