| Description: | News in Brief: Flying Water Bottles. US Army technicians fill disc-shaped containers with water and load them onto a plane. These containers are thrown from the plane without parachutes and apparently land safely. One of the water bottles lies on the ground; combat boots enter frame and step on it so we can see there is water still inside, squishing around. Successful test of new equipment. | |
