Navy SEAL Dies After Parachute Malfunction In New Jersey
Normally; Memorial Day is a celebration of those who have fought for the freedoms so many of us take for granted. It's a great day to get out, catch an airshow, a barbecue and hopefully, just take a break and give thanks for those who got us here. And sometimes, its a sad day when one of those celebrations goes badly... as it did Sunday, as part of "Fleet Week." A member of the US Navy's elite parachute team, the Leap Frogs, was pronounced dead Sunday at 1310 after his parachute malfunctioned and he landed in the Hudson River during an aerial demonstration at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey.
