Same.
Which would have been a dreadful thought as I watched my wife scramble out of bed and out the house.

then text rolled in saying mass casualty situation everyone report.
Sometimes, I speak and assume people know. The call for "mass casualty" can be a precautionary alert and/or it could turn into that without immediate care.
Does that make sense?

shite, now the reporter is saying multiple sources saying 80+ injured, 105 in trees
Saying wind was the culprit. Blew them off course.
I hope thats wrong.

Oh man... how in the world did everyone miss their landing so bad. I know nothing about parachuting but i would think the military that has done this thousands of times wouldnt be that bad off.

Just talked to wife to see if she heard anything (we live 45mins from work so she was on her way still) she said no details on numbers, or anything. Just that they had plenty medical response for the night, and need everyone to work to relieve each other for shifts tomorrow so some can rest.. i asked her any details like any word on how serious? She said all they told her was it was bad.

Surface level winds in southern Mississippi are calm tonight.
Anyone have any idea what altitude these guys are when over the drop zone?

I hope it stays that way. Im cautiously optimistic. Still havent heard anything from my in at FG...
105+ paratroopers end up in trees and there are NO life threatening injuries!? Thats hard to imagine, but I sure hope its true

Hopefully some bruises n cuts and nothing life threatning. Mam thats a scary situation. Couldn imaginw jumping from a frickn plane period, much less in the dark. Then start smashing into trees.

Must have landed into softwoods

Saw a comment from the live feed earlier that one of the soldiers involved in the rescue had reported that the worst he had seen so far was a few broken backs
Posted on 10/3/19 at 12:16 am to oleyeller
And hanging there surrounded by over 100 other people in various levels of pain, in the middle of the night.
Alright I’m out. I’ll check back in the morning to some good news, hopefully.
Night, y’all.
