    The chutes didn’t open. There’s video. Having a heavy pallet crash through your roof can cause death. We’re talking maybe half the weight of a car, traveling at faster than freeway speed.

      Even the ones where the chutes deployed have to be still carrying a decent amount of energy given the speed they appeared to be dropping in the video I saw. Given the number of folks running to try to get to them I’m surprised MORE weren’t injured.
