At a military airshow in Colombia in 2019, two soldiers were hanging on a steel cable beneath a helicopter. They were holding a giant Colombian flag, waving it around for the audience below.
Then disaster struck as the cable snapped, and the two soldiers plunged to their deaths. As there was a massive crowd watching the airshow, the accident was captured on film and camera by many of the people in attendance. And looking back, people watching the footage noticed something eart-shatteringly badass…
…the soldier closest to the ground, as he is falling, managed to give a final salute. Imagine being seconds away from your demise and still saluting like an absolute boss in mid-air. Guess Colombian soldiers really are every bit as hardcore as they come across on shows like Narcos, damn!
