This happens more frequently than most would realize.
There's been whole homes destroyed by falling military hardware.
One time, back around 00-01, near the Joint Training Grounds in Yuma, AZ an IVER
(BRU-33) holding two 500lb MK-80 training bombs fell off a Marine F/A-18, crashed thru a house. It landed in some guys living room while he was watching tv. When the Ordnance Dept arrived to collect it, dude was using it as a coffee table/foot rest. Dude also got paid a very handsome check, courtesy of the Dept of The Navy for his house, etc.

I wonder what kind of ass-chewing you get for accidentally dropping ammo on people.
Yeah no shit! I’m sure it’s not a slap on the wrist and a “don’t let it happen again” speech.
Really depends on if it explodes.
The fact that he was just using it as a coffee table alone makes me love this country ?
