According to redditor caudice, this Humvee--a military vehicle used by the United States, among other nations--was dropped out of an airplane in Afghanistan about 800 feet above the ground. The parachute failed to open.
Maybe, but the HMMWV seems to be missing it's body and big parts of the drivetrain. What you see there is just tires, chassis, and suspension components.
My favorite definition of history is "the application of ideology to the past."
Ambrose Bierce's is also good: "An account mostly false, of events unimportant, which are brought about by rulers mostly knaves, and soldiers mostly fools."
