Strong winds blew paratroopers off course in Honduras, not Uganda

Parasailers swoop around a stadium and make an unforgettable landing in a video circulating on social media. Some drop unceremoniously into crowded stands. Another crashes into a portable toilet. 

"Paratroopers landed in #various undesired places as they tried to #showcase while marking the 60th independence day," a recent Instagram post sharing the video said. "#Uganda #paratroopers miss #target, land in #mobile #toilet, roof, into the crowd instead of landing on the field during the country’s 60th independence celebration."

Uganda did celebrate Independence Day on Oct. 9, marking 60 years since its independence from the British Empire in 1962. But this video doesn’t show a botched display by paratroopers there.

Four Florida counties had “zero results” Oct. 26, and “something underhanded might be happening.”

Rather, the paratroopers were trying to land in José de la Paz Herrera Uclés stadium in Honduras for a celebration of the country’s 201st Independence Day on Sept. 15. Strong winds were blamed for blowing the paratroopers off course.
