Oops!

For the past week or so the army has been conducting a lot of exercises. They have included hauling weird things slung beneath their helicopters, bombs and explosives going off shaking all the windows in Shell, men repelling out of helicopters, and a lot of para jumpers. The funny thing about the parachuters is that they are simply jumping out about 1000 feet above the ground with unstearable chutes. They are being dropped over the runway and then are at the mercy of where mother nature takes them. As you can see below this guy was taken to an interesting place. I was later told that they have even landed in power lines and been killed. Doesn't sound like any fun to me.
