About the movie:
6 Days is a 2017 action thriller film directed by Toa Fraser and written by Glenn Standring. A British-New Zealand production, it is based on the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege in London and stars Jamie Bell, Abbie Cornish, Mark Strong and Martin Shaw.
The siege situation is presented from three perspectives: that of negotiator Max Vernon (Mark Strong), SAS leader Rusty Firmin (Jamie Bell) and BBC news reporter Kate Adie (Abbie Cornish). The film was released on 4 August 2017 to mixed reviews and was subsequently streamed by Netflix.
On Day 1, 30 April 1980, six Iranian Arabs storm the Iranian Embassy located at 16 Princes Gate, Kensington in London and hold at least 26 hostages. Notable persons have been summoned by the incident, including SAS members led by Lance Corporal Rusty Firmin, BBC reporter Kate Adie, and Chief Inspector Max Vernon of the Metropolitan Police. The authorities receive a call from the terrorists' leader, Salim, demanding the release of 91 Arab prisoners in Iran, or else they will kill a hostage at noon the following day.

If any of you are wondering how they knew instantly in the staircase, the SAS were debriefed of all the identities of the hostages inside, they knew every one of the names and faces they needed to rescue. So one of the terrorists trying to blend in wouldn't have fooled them.

[@shellsbignumber2]

Yeah, I think in the real siege, the terrorist was hiding amongst the hostages and one of the SAS men recognised him as a terrorist and whacked him on the back of the head with the butt of his gun because he couldn't fire in a crowded stairway. The terrorist was then chucked from SAS member to SAS member until the last SAS man on the stairs threw him to the floor and put about a dozen bullets in him. It was only Then that the grenade fell out of his hand, thankfully due to the swift actions of the SAS the terrorist didn't have time to pull the pin. Any sort of hesitation may of cost them and many of the hostages their lives.

Two of the SAS men who took part in this operation were Tommy Palmer and John McAleese. Both would later serve in the Falklands War and in Northern Ireland. Corporal Tommy Palmer would be killed in a traffic accident in Northern Ireland. John McAleese took part in several actions against the IRA in Northern Ireland most notably the Loughgall Ambush in Co. Tyrone 1988 where he would be awarded the MM. After his military career he would suffer personal loss and bereavement and be involved in controversy of a most disturbing nature which would blight his outstanding military career. His son Sgt Paul Mcaleese of the 2nd Bn The Rifles would be killed in an IED attack in August 2009 in Helmand Province;Afghanistan. John McAleese at the time of his death in Greece was wanted by the UK police who had an international warrant for his arrest on the charge of downloading child pornography.

Obviously my original post was to add information to some of the individuals who took part in this operation and one gentleman takes issue with my reference to John McAleese in relation to child pornography charges. That is that gentleman's right. However it is not "BS" as that gentleman eloquently put it. I am not trying to assassinate anyone's character but am giving established facts. Just 4 days after his sons Pauls funeral John was contacted by West Mercia Police in relation to these charges and went voluntarily with them and also had his personal computer confiscated. Why did such a decorated SAS soldier afterwards go to Greece? Why did he not fight the way he did in his military career against these vile charges? This man in his military career did so much for Queen & Country. John refused to go back to the UK. The Hereford Magistrates were satisfied with the legal proceedings to issue an extradition warrant(2010) for his arrest in Greece and be brought back to the UK. The issue of an extradition warrant has to go through complex legalities and bureaucracy so the legal system in the UK were satisfied that there was strong grounds for the arrest of John for the offence. The simple fact is at the time of John's death in Greece there was an extradition warrant for his arrest in relation to the aforementioned vile offences which was downloading child pornography. No one can doubt the bravery of this man who served with distinction in Her Majesty's Forces.

If you watch some of the videos of the cafe outside during the siege you will note that for a time you see six large operators dressed in green...that was most likely the commando team...but note that when the actual assault takes place they are nowhere to be seen...that is because they were stood down by the police person in charge.

[@realddormond7158]

How that one actually happened according to the documentation was the terrorist was ID’ed at the top of the stairs by that guy (the one who hit him) where the grenade was spotted. Because they could not fire in the stairs because of high ricochet / friendly fire chance they instead booted him down the stairs till he hit the bottom, then both unloaded their full mags into him… twice. The scene in the movie though is supposed to visually tell the story that all SAS members going in where given a briefing of every hostage they had to save, no match = you dead, as Thatcher gave specific orders that none of the hostage takers where to be left alive (iirc one did actually survive, only because he made it out where they could be seen on camera, so they had to arrest him instead, though one did try to take him back into the embassy to clean up till the cameras where spotted).

[@DarkFenix2k5]

@@realddormond7158 Yeah the last terrorist, hiding among hostages, was only found outside. They took all the hostages into the back garden and restrained them until they could be identified.

That guy was released from prison in 2008 and now lives under a new identity in South London apparently.

I love how authentic this film is, how it represents the details of this event and the life the SAS operators live, love all the tools and tactics they show through the film. Masterkey shotgun on a sling for example, really demonstrating how versatile and adaptable special forces and hostage rescue are, they have a tool or training to solve every problem. Because they're the folk that need to do that. I like the choreography as well, showing em all make entry and mark a corner of the room to cover, also like at 2:55 showing him pause and ready up before peeking. Then jumping out and weaving round the corners, quickly getting through that tricky bit and getting to the next bit of cover. All the little details that make this film good, the actors portraying the SAS operators look like proper SAS. They look competent and professional, you can really suspend your disbelief and immerse yourself into this. They really tried hard and made a good film in the end. I like films that are based on real events to be as authentic as they can, this one takes the cake out of all others I know.

[@Klemheist-vf1hx]

This operation is what motivated me to apply for Selection for the Oz SASR in 82. Met one of the Nimrod guys, Taff Sayer on Long-Look later. A lovely down to earth guy... for a Pom. He was kind enough to bring over some of the John Tidewell prints ('Princes gate, The Back Door') for our team, Gauntlet. One sits on the wall in HQ, and another in my study. I am retired now. It was a quiet time for Australia in the 80's and 90's and apart from the training casualties and physical wear we were lucky I guess.

[@ColonelPeppers]

Those flashbangs were a liability, they seem to set everything on fire.

[@TeddyRenson47]

No their not a liability their very effective as pretty much as soon as that flashbang is thrown in the soldiers are guaranteed a few seconds of somewhat safety as flashbangs use immense noise and blind effect to those around the blast the reason why the building set on fire is because one of the SAS guys who threw the flashbang threw it too short and it caught on some curtains causing fire to the building

[@aweeeeh5255]

​@TeddyRenson47 Isn't it because they doused the room with gasoline? In the scene where one of the SAS jumped over the balcony one of the terrorists was pouring a gas can all over the room. A small explosion like that flashbang couldn't have immediately set the room on fire that quickly.

[@spectre1725]

Newer types of Flashbangs are much safer. We used them extensively in our urban combat training. We also had the chance to experience them on ourselves in a room. These were only training Flashbangs (and only one bangs, there are three bangs and then nine bangs). Trust me, these training flashbang already were enough to get you confused and scare the shit out of you. If you use a nine bang in a room and you don't have ear protection. It's gonna hurt and make you confused like you never were before in your life.

@@spectre1725 exactly but that’s what people don’t understand in the military is that weapons and technology is always advancing and evolving to become more efficient and safer to use whereas back then weapons and equipment was different it was more hands on not advanced but not terrible then again it’s the SAS they could’ve stormed that building with just their fists after just waking up

ok, a few oddities, 1. The music cuts out midway through, 2.

On the stairs, the SAS operative actually pushed the terrorist down to the bottom of the stairs, where he got two full magazines of MP5 submachinegun fire in his back, and 4. If I remember correctly, the dude who had an encounter with a terrorist in which his gun jammed, he swapped to his handgun before the terrorist could detonate a grenade
