US paratrooper crashes into stadium scoreboard

A US Army parachute demonstration went awry when a paratrooper crashed into the stadium scoreboard at a football game in Virginia. The incident occurred as three paratroopers were attempting to land on the field with the American flag before the match, but high winds diverted one soldier into the structure. The start of the game was postponed for half an hour while emergency crews rescued the paratrooper, who was not seriously injured, though the scoreboard sustained minor damage.
