I was told that they were practicing for an upcoming sporting event at the stadium, but that "strong winds" made them land off target. What an embarrassment... The fact that the locals find it amusing suggests they don't exactly expect much out of their corrupt armed forces.

the electric lines alone would be a major hazard.
the .mil here should hire some of the numerous special forces veterans that infest the place to train them properly.

Could it have been for the opening of the Cambodia National Games ? The official opening is today.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote:I was told that they were practicing for an upcoming sporting event at the stadium, but that "strong winds" made them land off target.

(So keep your eyes peeled in PP and you might get a replay. Lol. I've sent on those videos to friends - hilarious.)

Yes, that was the idea. But yesterday only 2 managed to land in the Olympic Stadium. Better luck today, or have they lost enough face ?Could it have been for the opening of the Cambodia National Games ?

SinBoy: Seal and SAS? Is that suppose to be some kind of joke? The Seals and SAS did have people on TAD (temporary duty) with each other, but no way can a person be both (to my knowledge). That's just a stupid post. After 15 years in the Navy Seals where you still an E-1? (That's a joke son.)

Paratroopers blown into rush-hour traffic in Phnom Penh. More to come today so get your tickets now, and watch those skies...

Eight paratroopers from the elite 911 airborne brigade will this afternoon theatrically descend into the middle of Olympic Stadium, forming the centrepiece of the opening ceremony for the country’s first ever National Games. They will be hoping not to repeat a disastrous Wednesday practice run.

Six Paratroopers Miss Stadium; One Left Dangling on Lamppost
BY SEK ODOM | OCTOBER 28, 2016
When eight soldiers from the elite Brigade 911 paratroopers unit exited a helicopter at about 6 p.m. on Wednesday evening during a rehearsal for today’s National Games opening ceremony, it was supposed to be a routine exercise in which they all landed safely on the Olympic Stadium’s artificial turf.

All 8 made it into the stadium. Only one landed in the audience.
The opening ceremony is still live on BTV.
