The U.S., Jordan, Egypt, France, the Netherlands and Belgium dropped aid over Gaza in an attempt to get supplies, including desperately needed food, to residents.
"You see, we're trying to deliver so much aid that we ran out of parachutes!"
"So, using our incredible American innovation, we decided, y'know with all that food we're dropping, people are going to need cutlery."
"So we looked into it, and our case history indicated 100% survivability of using forks, knives, and spoons as a parachute. We even packed an honest-to-God anvil, I don't understand why, but they claimed it was necessary and we always Follow The Science!"
(Damn, I typed this with the assumption I could find a compilation video of this gag. Well I couldn't, so use your imagination, and hate youtube/WB a little more for making fun difficult)
How big are these aid packages that they can squash 5 people? I'm assuming what happened was that the package collapsed a roof or something, killing 5 people.
Apparently some of the straps broke and sent heavy boxes scatter shotting the area. I imagine even a relatively light package in free fall can snap someone's neck.
This happened obviously. But the cynic in me says it's prevalence in US/NATO media is because it's s nice way to skew the SEO away from the fact that Israel has been using aid as bait to commit more massacres.
