Well this probably won't look good on somebody's record.

The video will likely be featured in military PowerPoint presentations from now until eternity as an example of why attention to detail is key. In it, we see three — three! — Humvees plunge from the sky and explode upon impact.

I was actually there for that and saw the drop, but didn't get to go out and see the damage in person.

Nope, from where I was you could see the drop and some things falling fast but you couldn't tell what it was. All we saw afterwards was the smoke from the couple that caught on fire. It was a huge drop, some 20+ C130's and about as many C17's all dropped within an hour.

Oops!! Someone is in big trouble. Good training video of what not to do. Looks like the things broke when the parachute deployed more than a mistake.
