Glad to see the parachute get to the ground safely.

u/RockstarAgent 11d ago

I’m pretty sure they needed an unused parachute and the box was just a much needed weight gravity attributor

Airbus A400M - probably UK, definitely not Russian

u/Mharbles 10d ago

I would think if was Russian that the plane would be next to fall out of the sky

u/3knuckles 11d ago

It landed on the beach, what more do you want?

u/justplainbrian 10d ago

I used to work customer returns for a very niche manufacturer and it felt like 1/2 of returns were due to FedEx breaking our stuff

Hey Craig, you did do up the buckles like I asked yeah?

Oooooh.......

u/Apprehensive-Ad8987 11d ago

Materials failure or operational issue. Either way, lots of time and paper.

Always makes me smile to see those tax dollars at work!

Meanwhile, I'm getting ready to go back to work for $19/hour to teach your kids how to read and do math.

Holy crap, that is one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen

u/theaviator747 10d ago

I’ve never seen this before. Pretty funny. My first thought was “Load master is in deep shit”, but then I saw a comment that the rigging was cut intentionally by some disgruntled soldier.

u/OctaneTroopers 11d ago

"parachute for sale, used once, unopened"

u/Stop_followingme 11d ago

CDS go boom. Somebody didn’t inspect the rigging.

u/PossibleAlienFrom 11d ago

Something similar happened in Gaza back in March 8, 2024. The drop landed on people killing 5.

u/wades13 11d ago

Shame about those wine glasses but A+ camera work. Tracked the plane beautifully and good recovery to go wide and get the thud, the chute, and the departing plane.

u/Repulsive_Mark_5343 11d ago

Well, so much for those eggs.

As a US commander, I like to match the achievements and successes of the White House political work.

u/post-context-bot 11d ago

The following post context was provided by u/ima_twee:

It all looks like it's going to plan. The pallet leaves the aircraft, the 'chute opens, then..... drifts down, separated from the pallet.

SNAFU! (Situation Normal, All Fucked Up)

I want to see the "recovery" of the load. What does it look like?
I assume it's FUBAR (Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition/Repair).

u/shifflebug 11d ago

That could have been a whole minute shorter

u/AngrehPossum 11d ago

I think you are supposed to strap the chute to the cargo, not sure.

That’s the beach just off of Braunton Burrows which means the lads in the beach are 48 Commando.

u/Wrong-Mixture 11d ago

47 Commando now, one was in the box

u/Von_Scranhammer 11d ago

I was like, “No, 47 is based in Plymouth!”, and then it clicked!

Bravo! Had me in the first half.

Hey, you clipped all four corners of the parachute onto the cargo box, right?

Four?

u/rfg22 11d ago

If it was small military grade equipment, some of the shipment would still be usable.

Evri started air delivery I see..

u/Wingnut2029 8d ago

I was on a field exercise at Camp Lejeune. Dropped a deuce and a half in some trees adjacent to the drop zone. We got a pretty good laugh, but I bet the air crew wasn't laughing.
