At 12:20 p.m. on May 14, 15 airborne troops successfully parachuted into Mao County. As the weather continued to deteriorate, the remaining 83 were unable to continue the parachute drop. As to why more and earlier paratroopers could not be deployed to parachute in, a comment on the Sina Three Forces Forum (Air Force) revealed that the terrain in the epicenter of the disaster area is very harsh, with cliffs and riversides in many places, and after the earthquake, there were rolling rocks and collapses all over the place, which made forced parachute landings in the rain extremely hazardous.

If the air is blown to the cliff, an impact must appear casualties.
