That was all part of the same adventure.
their first attempt at dropping it simply cratered the 
desert floor.
The second attempt ...went as planned.

This reminds me of the story I read years ago about MG trying to film an ad 
just like this one.  They had a problem, though.  When the car went out of 
the back of the cargo aircraft the pilot-chute deployed well, stabilizing the 
pallet right-side up.  However, the mains never popped, so the car hit, dead 
flat, at whatever speed an MG attains at terminal velocity.  The car was the 
flattest MG ever.
