The family that lived there was having an Easter egg hunt at the time, according to media reports.

One might say that after the landing he was a bad egg.

I did a Summer Camp attached to Cutler Army Hospital at Ft Devens in the 70’s.One day,when returning from chow I saw a chopper taking off from the front lawn of the hospital.Turns out they had just dropped off a bird Colonel from the Natick Labs (and Army research and testing facility) about 20 miles from Devens.Turns out he was testing a parachute that failed to open.They took him directly to the morgue.

It couldve been worse. It couldve been turkeys.
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!

At least he didn’t land on top of one of the little kids. That would have been horrible. What are the chances of getting killed by a skydiver while hunting for Easter eggs in your back yard?

Look mummy, up in the sky, it's an aero plane.
As God is my witness, I thought Easter bunnies could fly!
