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 usd, 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.
