Check out this insane video of an air drop completely failing and getting stuck in the air on its way down.
While falling to the ground, dozens of supplies and other military equipment are dropped in the air drop load but get stuck only a few hundred feet off the ground due to a thermal layer in the atmosphere, causing the equipment to stop falling.
The equipment gets stuck in the air for roughly a minute before it begins to fall again and as the thermal layer lets up, the equipment is able to make its way through it.
The troops on the ground were just as baffled thinking that the equipment was never going to come down.
