US Army Airborne Brigade drop THREE humvees during an operation at the U.S. Army Garrison Hohenfels in Germany.
Not even a Humvee can withstand being dropped hundreds of feet to the earth! US Army destroys three vehicles in two minutes when parachutes fail during training mission.
This is the shocking moment a botched U.S. Army airdrop ended with three Humvees falling several hundred feet and crashing into the ground.
The armored vehicles, which can cost as much as $220,000, were being flown into the Hohenfels military base in Germany when they were dropped out the back of C-130 Hercules transport planes.
But their parachutes failed as they fell, sending the expensive equipment tumbling to the earth before smashing into the ground, destroying them.
The video, shot by men believed to be soldiers from the 173rd Airborne Brigade on the mission, shows the Hercules aircraft flying overhead as various vehicles and gear are dropped gently down to solid ground.
The men are soon heard whooping, laughing hysterically and shouting 'Yeeessss' as the first Humvee comes loose and crashes to the ground and breaking apart.
They laugh even louder as the second Humvee plummets to the earth from another plane just moments later. One soldier can hardly contain his laughter and lets off a string of expletives.
And seconds later, another plunges after its parachute fails, with the men remarking that it appeared to catch fire after the bumpy landing.
Some of the parachutes appeared to have opened correctly, according to the Tactical Air Network, but the Humvees were able to break free.
In order to properly airdrop a Humvee, they are loaded onto metal pallets, sometimes using a crane. Three G-11B parachutes with a total weight of 275lb are then strapped to the Humvees, while honeycombed pads and bits of wood are stacked under the vehicle to provide cushioning when landing.
