I was working the ER at Womack Army Hospital at FT. Bragg one night when they brought in 6 guys who parachuted out of a plane into a thunderstorm, and all bought the farm. Tough night at work.


That's on the jumpmaster and the flight crew. They never should have put those guys out the door. Huge failure on their part. Any jump with prevailing winds over 13 knots and someone is getting hurt.

It was Ft Bragg with the 82nd Airborne guys and Green Berets so you likely know what the rumors on post were. We heard their CO ordered the jump, knowing the conditions. Never heard the outcome.

Saw so many 82nd guys walking into a local pool hall on Bragg Blvd, saying "I am going to whoop arse on every redneck in here." and getting beat half to death with a pool stick. Bragg was home to some genuinely crazy soldiers and officers.

Did not witness this, but while I was there, a Black Knight doing a jump show demo., went into the ground in the middle of the parade field and they didn't even stop the show.
