Not all were killed. Seven died, 11 survived. Of those killed, Gunnery Sgt. James P. Paige Jr. (Gunney Paige), helped get Marines who were knocked unconscious out of the helo as he was closest to the door. Those men surfaced, still unconscious, to be rescued. Gunny Paige did not.
WOW he came in very fast!..RIP.

RIP Devil Dogs ... I knew a Marine on that CH 46, luckly the guy survived; he was a exceptional swimmer.
