Paratrooper Dragged Behind Plane Survives Seven Minutes
AP reports 19 year old paratrooper Michael A. McDonald of Missoula Montana endured seven minutes hanging behind a U S Air Force transport during a training jump from 1300 feet at Fort Campbell Kentucky. His static line failed to deploy his parachute, wind and lines entangled his arms, and he shed 40 to 50 pounds of gear before his reserve parachute opened. A Marine helicopter plucked him from the Maple Hill area near Jacksonville North Carolina where he was treated and returned to duty.
