Black Hawk Down - Michael Durant Interview

In 1993, an assault force of Army Rangers, Delta Operators, and Special Operations Aviation Regiment was inserted into the Bakaara Market in Mogadishu. Amid the campaign to capture Mohamed Farrah Aidid, a Somali warlord, the objective of this operation was to capture two of his senior lieutenants. The mission was planned to take under 30 minutes, however this quickly changes when a black hawk helicopter is shot down by Somali militia. Ground forces are sent to secure the site, but while things are still getting organized, a second black hawk crashes to the ground.

Surrounded by hundreds of Somali militia, the pilots struggle for their lives. But no man is left behind..


64 ARE YOU OK? ROGER GOING IN HARD, GOING DOWN... RAY! 64 IS GOING DOWN. 64 IS DOWN. A64, R64, OVER. ROGER HE HAS JUST... NORTHWEST, 200 METERS OF THE RPG. ROGER, WE JUST LOST ANOTHER BLACKHAWK, WE ARE TAKING A LOT OF RPG FIRE, WE LOST IT SOUTH OF THE OLYMPIC HOTEL SOUTH OF NATIONAL, WE GOT ANOTHER HAWK OVER HEAD. WE NEED TO ASK THE KILO IF THEY CAN RESPOND AND GIVE THEM SOME HELP.

@donkzilla1 I cant give u the urlcuz youtube is gay. search google: official military report on somalia 1993 pdf. It should be at the bottom of page 2. It should be called United States Forces, Somalia After Action Report. It includes everything so its a long read.

Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart should have had their own day.

Everyone should know what these Brave souls did.

Never forget what they did, They are real heros.

And there the finest men god could ever make.

Angels sent down to protect Durant and his crew.

And what thoese animals did to the crew was the most disgusting thing my eyes ever saw, I hope all thoese somali's who particptated in that go to hell.

There are some things humans just don't do to each other.

That was one of em.

@ReMaiNsF18 yea but chances are what you're hearing there is only a small section of a much more extensive interview, so he probably would have at some point, but this video I think has been uploaded with the focus of Mike Durrant. But I would agree that when talking about this incident, shughart and Gordon are central to it.

@1888gp they didn't have enough soldier's but they didn't expect what happened. they fought a whole country, I am pissed and want to go to somalia not even gonna cap that shit, and tear something up. President O. should wake up mad and send some troops over to let them now know WE THE GREATEST!

[ReMaiNsF18]
