Worst one that I ever saw was a stupid accident on a gunnery range. A
M-48A5 of the Texas National Guard was shooting night machinegun. The turret stabilizer system chose that moment to go balls up and started spinning the turret and the damned gunner didn't let go of the triggers until after he sprayed the bleachers with the better part of 200+ rounds. Wound up killing three men and injuring another seven.
Training Accidents are such a damn stupid way of losing good men.
