5 people killed in Gaza as aid package parachute fails to deploy, officials and witness say

Unfortunately it's fairly common, air drops into any area that isn't being controlled by people working in conjunction with the people dropping it, can be extremely dangerous, even if the chute deploys.

It's a ton of weight that seems to be moving really slowly until it actually is close to landing. People understandably tend to crowd the drop zones, so there's not a lot of room to get out of the way if the air drop comes down squirrelly.

I'd say too soon but the only way to cope with this madness is dark humor

In MGSV you can knock out an enemy by requesting a supply drop on their head. It's not lethal though, unlike in Gaza...
