The bad guy with the grenade on stairs happened. Caused controversy as well. The media were asking, "Why does he have so many bullets in him? It must have been an execution!" No, it just that 3 or 4 operators saw the threat independently of each other, and they all took action at the same time. John McAleese described it best, "when theres a situation like that, it's no good looking at each other, wondering who's gonna deal with it. So we all shot him."

Yes, the MP-5 malfunction actually happened .. the receiver was warped by the heat from the room he was in prior to this one and failed to fire.

[@GreymanGhost]

Yep yep this. Also to clarify the extraction, 1 hostage was killed trying to exfil with hostages and 1 xray did in fact make it outside to the lawn. He was identified and led away by one of the SAS team. That member returned alone a few seconds later. This was investigated. However as Thatcher had given the order of ' no terrorist is to leave ' iirc no action was taken. I saw this unfold as a kid, it started my fascination with the SAS.

[@overthewebb]

@@GreymanGhost You are wrong, one terrorist made it to the lawn and was being taken away by one of the the team and another operator asked him where he was taking him. We all know why he was being taken away. But the operator said to the guy taking him away, we need to keep him here. The terrorist spent years in jail and was released a few years ago. He was the only terrorist to survive the incident

[@LondonPride25]

Two hostages were killed. One prior to, one during the assault. One terrorist survived and was only recently released from prison. He (like the guy killed on the stairs) chickened out and pretended to be a hostage. When he was zip-tied and put on his belly (like all the hostages until positive IDs were made) he was identified as a hostile by the hostages. Rumour has it that an SAS operator picked him up and started to lead him back indoors, with the intention of executing him, before a fellow operator pointed out there were cameras on them and he was reluctantly returned to the lawn and arrested. PM Margaret Thatcher and her husband Dennis later visited the SAS team at Hyde Park Barracks to congratulate them for a job well done. Operators "Snapper" and John McAleese remember Dennis joking "Well done chaps, but you let one of the bastards live."

[@jamesthomas7102]

It helps that there was a former SAS sergeant among the police presence who phoned the SAS officers mess before the government actually called them in, and said something along the lines of "your probably going to get called in for this, be ready" so the 2 teams that were taking part were already waiting with their gear to be called in when the government actually called them in

[@stevebarlow3154]

@Thetasigmaalpha The surviving terrorists name is Fowzi Nejad. He was one of a group seeking independence for Khuzestan province, an oil rich part of southern Iran whose population are mainly Iranian Arabs. The Revolutionary Government of Iran brutally suppressed demonstrations for Independence and jailed many of the protesters. The group that Nejad joined were nationalists, not hard core terrorists like Isis, who foolishly decided to go down the terrorist path. The Iranian government still suppress the people of Khuzestan and anyone else who dares to challenge the Iranian government in any way. As can be seen by their recent brutal treatment of women who wanted to dress in a more western way. After the siege was ended Nejad was given a life sentence in prison. After 27 years he was released. Normally foreign prisoners are immediately deported, but because Iran would not guarantee his safety he was allowed to stay in the UK. The UK will not deport anyone to a country where that person may be sentenced to death. Because of the nature of his offence he was not granted asylum in the UK, though for practical purposes he was. Which probably means he is not allowed to work. Which in turn means he was getting benefit and assistance with his housing and council taxes from the State. As he is now in his mid sixties he may now receive the State Pension or Pension Credit. It would be a rather sad empty life for him, as although he gets just enough to live on, there would be lots of restrictions on his life.

[@madders8781]

Tyler is right about the guy on the stairs, he was pushed towards one of the other ops who made the recognition and fired, i think i heard that another op shot him as well at bottom of stairs before checking grenade. As for the other terrorist that Buck mentioned.....everybody that was evacuated was ziptied on lawn outside until they could be ID'd. Some of the hostages were yelling that one of the terrorists was there, so they grabbed him. There was unofficial rumour that the boys were going to take him back into the building to finish the job but the news cameras were watching. That of course is completely denied. That guy from the lawn was the only survivor of the terrorist group and went to prison

[@cameronhermann9400]

I think I heard that the stairs guy was identified by the hostages and taken out, and the lawn one was identified after he was zip tied. I may be wrong but that’s just what I heard

[@damienolympia3702]

One of the Troopers that shot the terrorist on the stairway was Robin Horsefall. His book Fighting Scared is worth a read. In the 1990's there was a documentary on British television that interviewed some of the hostages but also got some of the SAS Troopers, including Horsefall and John Macaleese You can watch it here and hear what happened from the people who were actually there kzbin.info/www/bejne/apLdfmR6gNZ5f5o&rco=1 Highly recommended

The last terrorist got out of the building. He was imprisoned after a trial, but when he was identified in the embassy garden the SAS operator were going to take him back inside and finish him off. They stopped because they were under observation from TV cameras.

Grenade guy happened. He got smacked in the head with the butt of an MP5 by one guy then another unzipped him with a full mag. The terrorist surviving was also true. He was identified by a hostage on the lawn outside. By all accounts, some of the SAS were all for bringing him back in and stiffing him, but they were told no as they were in the public view. The guy having a stoppage with his MP5 is also based on real accounts of the op.

[@dylanjohns8409]

The big mistake in this movie which former SAS has said is that on the actual mission there was a whole squadron on that mission I.e 50+ soldiers, whereas this movie it only involves around 6-7 soldiers.

In the Landshut 737 Kidnapping, all of the operators and hostages survived the operation. Three hostages and one operator were wounded and one of the pilots killed before. Can be a fluke or the special environment of a small plane, but the GSG 9 pulled it off with the help of 2 SAS advisers.

Larry Vickers said in his Sicario review that full-auto in CQB was a bad idea. Curious what Tyler's take on this is (as a fellow Delta guy). Larry was referring to the scene where Emily Blunt uses full auto in the opening scene in the house.

[@deanstuart8012]

I was 10 when this happened, and like millions of others I watched it live on television. In the UK at the time we had just three television channels. BBC1 was showing the final of the World Snooker Championships. BBC2 was showing a John Wayne western (that's what we were watching). ITV were showing an episode of the long running soap opera Coronation Street, and they refused to switch to the embassy footage until Coronation Street had finished. Kate Adie (played by Abboe Cornish in the film) was the BBC commentator during the attack and would later get shot in the elbow during the Tiemnaman (spelling) Square massacre in 1989. The whole country was walking on air the next day.

Last time you missed the incursion , thank god you are gonna review it , awesome operation 😊😊

This movie was slated by one of the former 22 SAS operators Robin Horsefall who was part of the operation (See link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJi5dXqQprONq68). He slated Rusty Firmin who was a major part of this movie and who was played by Jamie Bell in the movie. It doesn't depict the movie accurately but rather more like it's "based" on true events.

From the many accounts published on the “incident” ……. Two of the enemy combatants tried to escape with the prisoners, one was shot as depicted in the film, the other was discovered outside with the other prisoners, the Troopers recognised him and were about to take him back into the building to let him be with his former colleagues BUT the hostages actually tried to lay on him and said he’d actually been respectful and more humane than the others…….. so they let him live ! A lesson for you all …….. don’t be a c#nt to people and it could save your life !!!!

Love when Tyler is on the show. You'd never know the guy was a badass hitter by how soft spoken he is. Can't wait til they have him back!

[@TakNuke]

The opinion on full auto is quite interesting and understandable. Beside that I also think the nature of CQB with hostage reacue also leans more on full auto as time is an important factor here combinded with faster neutralization of enemy while using 9mm.

[@MrCashewkitty]

Sub guns yes, rifles no

[@TakNuke]

@@MrCashewkitty That's also right but in his case he might be using MK18 or other such short carbines not standard M4 type carbine, so their is that. I can't pin point the interview but it was said that during the Iraq insurgency the door kicking operations went through the roof so that every type of SF unit was doing it. During these times Rangers transformed into a tier 1 unit being a middle ground between conventional and SF units. While at the same time Green Berets were also operating at high tempo in Afghanistan. So at such times one also feels to get the mission over as quickly as possible as there are more targets to hit and there is not enough manpower or time. So such decisions can be taken as they have a higher skill ceiling. Not everyone can do this he is one of those exceptions.

[@MrCashewkitty]

@@TakNuke flupping to FA in a kill house with a rifle would get them shown the door . The mp5 was used like this, with safety off. The safety off still lingered around certain units but its asinine by 99%, including the tier 1 units that ive seen respond to it. Ive got the FA question sent out to guys from both T1 units that answer questions via DM. Ill bet money that they all say not a chance

[@TakNuke]

@@MrCashewkitty He is an exception as he mentioned that his unit used suppressor which reduces the weight of fire affect while using in semi-auto when you are less in numbers while facing non suppressed ak's. He said that he can control full auto so why not use it to expedite that procedure as now room clearing has been slowed down to avoid casualties vs how it was in early days, so one has to save time somewhere. Beside that he also mentions that he will switch to semi auto if there were enemies present along with hostages. This is like MAC-V and SASR units which used full auto short barrel battle rifles like M15 and FAL to produce an image of being a larger unit when in heavy contact with VC and NVA.

[@MrCashewkitty]

@@TakNuke the Unit has THE highest safety standards in the world. Guys get canned for NDs, shooting no shoots, or any safety violation. Hell, they uses frangible ammo in the shoot house. He was not using auto with a rifle on any DA missions. He may on his own time. Theres tons of video out there from both units. Not once do you see it. Also, why would a mk18 be better for auto than an m4? Its worse.

The SAS did deploy CS gas, John Mac who deployed the window frame charge and was 30cm/6in from the detonation threw up three times in his mask and had to clear it due to the inhalation of the gas. The primary rescue targets were PC John Lock and the BBC journalist. Mac said with the maglites on their MP5 was you aimed down the light and squeezed and made sure you put them down. The guy with the grenade was shot with 120ish rounds from 3 SAS so they reloaded. The one that got out and was later identified by the cuffed hostages was being taken back in the building but a news helicopter was overhead. During the immediate debrief Mac said Dennis Thatcher said “shame you missed one”

When he said no was asked if he'd be interested in taking part in a training exercise when told he could go in civvy clothes and tgere would be food kaid on and a few beers he agreed. He was sat in a train carriage in an isolated location for a few hours enjoying a beer and eating and chatting with other soldiers waiting to do the training exercise when a hammer tied to a rope came flying through the window and the next few minutes a blur. It was an sas exercise. He said one of the sas was cut entering through the window so they did a blood transfusion there and then. He was zip tied and on the floor in minutes. This was over 30 years ago.

[@darrenreslis594]

There were two terrorists that tried to escape with the hostages, the first one was killed on the stairs, the second one was identified by Sim Harris while they were all handcuffed on the lawn. Both Robin Horsfall and John Mac have both been on camera more than once 'hinting' that the second guy was going to be dragged back in and shot, but Horsfall stopped them. Not because he felt bad about it, but because as he pointed out to the other operators, they were surrounded by Police and the worlds press. The second terrorist who survived was sentenced to life in prison and served 27 years. He was released on life licence (much to the annoyance of many involved) in 2008. The then Prime Ministers husband, Denis Thatcher, was with the PM and met up with the Hooligans immediately after the Op at Regents Park barracks and jokingly berated them saying that 'You let one of the bastards live.'

The one that made it out was Fowzi Badavi Nejad. He was arrested and tried. He served 27 years in prison. He is now living somewhere in England under a new identity as due to human rights laws he couldn't be sent back to Iran. There was no eye to eye moment on the stairs with the other one, he was recognised by several of the team and shot on the spot..

[@BedsitBob]

The shooting of the X-ray on the stairs, wasn't quite as portrayed. He'd already passed the SAS guy on the stairs, when he was recognised, and they couldn't shoot him, for fear of hitting each other, or the hostages. So, he was hurled down the stairs, and shot as he reached the bottom. Three troopers opened up on him, riddling him with rounds.

Re Famous Raids in History, Raid on Entebbe , IDF hostage rescue

[@darthjoo8896]

I’d watch it. Maybe drop the “in history.”

[@sckl4635]

Theres no way you were on the Helo being briefed by radio on the way to a civilian hostage rescue, it just wouldnt happen. Why not just send a QRF to rescue hostages, I dont think it would end well.

[@Nigel-wu5lj]

Commercial aircraft were ordered to fly as low as possible to create as much noise as possible.

[@tihomirrasperic]

all plans have flaws and the more mistakes are found in the preparation, the better the plan will be who knows, maybe you have a great idea, maybe they missed something * I mean, look at the series Mythbusters, when they say in simple myths that plan A never works, and they usually end up with plan M, O or S and now add hostages, terrorists, bombs and an attack team to that a recipe for chaos

[@Yuvattar]

Please make it happen, I'd watch the shit out of you guys talking any sort of war stories.

[@Richie8406]

20:15 F**k, it happened to me too in the 90's, repelled off a roof got caught, figured it out. Scouts training.

[@PoolmanUK]

In 80's Command and government would hand over, then SAS, you have let the dogs off the lead, we will deal later, they need no restraint within rules of engagement!

[@eltonpope9370]

The true story regarding the terrorists is the one on the stairwell with the hand grenade was eliminated as soon as they were made aware of him and yes one terrorist did actual sneak out among the hostages onto the back lawn of the Embassy but as the story goes a member of the SAS recognised him from the mugshots they,de been shown and apparently tried to escort him back inside the Embassy to do shat eho know but his own team mate persuaded him to leave it as there were to many witnesses eventually that terrorist seeved his time in jail about 20 years and now lives in London true story i,ve watch many documentary s about this and these are actual eyewitness accounts

[@MabDarogan2]

Too many advertisements. I won't watch this channel again.

[@lewisb85]

The one who they shot on the stairs actually was more brutal in real life.3 SAS troopers emptied magazines into him when he fell down the stairs.

[@pauldavison7105]

The guy on the stairs was true. Several troopers shot him when they realised he had a grenade. He was left with something like 27 rounds in him. One further terrorist managed to sneak out with the hostages but the hostages brought attention to him whilst they all got handcuffed on the lawn outside.

[@PaulJones-go8wr]

it never lasted 30days! its why the film is called 6 days because it lasted 6 days.

[@mountedpatrolman]

When I was a Kid I had a subscription to Combat Missions Magazine and there was an article in one of the issues about dealing with threats in buildings and it said Always attack from the top of the building down as it's a bad idea to fight up where the bad guys get trapped like rats and fight to the death. This was sometime in the mid 80's and it's something I've taken away from them since that time.

[@Goalie002]

Yeah, it was part of British Army Doctrine from post-WW2 through the 80s to attack top down whenever possible for the reasons you said. You can see old training videos where they'd have an MG cover the main exit and the soldiers in the building would shoot through walls and floors on the way down to force the occupiers into the street for the MG crew to take them out. The main problem which was covered as part of the instruction was the fact that it is time consuming and requires a lot of coordination

[@patknight5680]

I thought he had researched it. One terrorist did get out. He’s still in prison (or has maybe died).

[@juttieread8808]

The bad guy who got out went to prison for 28 years and is out now and lives in London on full benefits

[@Kevin.odonnell]

So tell us about the political BS. I want to be sure that nonsense is public so we can choose politicians who don’t treat you as disposable commodities.

[@overthewebb]

One terrorist did survive and was in the lawn at the end. He was the only survivor and he spent years in Jail, although he has now been released

[@seank7325]

Good book - "Soldier ""I" SAS" - dude was on the staircase, hit the grenade guy in the head to knock him down the stairs - two other guys shot him. One terrorist did get out with the hostages, was identified and arrested once everyone was out and zapstrapped on the lawn. When the Coroner's Inquest happened afterwards, he was one of the operators that had to testify, including having to explain why grenade guy had so many bullet holes in him... Weird story - my mother was doing her history degree when I was high school, and one of the courses was a military history course - they had the negotiator as a guest lecturer and he presented the audio tapes of him keeping Oan busy right up to when the window and distraction charges went off and the shooting started. There were students invited from the military college in town that got to hear/see a more classified version as well - ongoing audio and video from outside and inside the embassy after the fire was put out and the CSI folks started going through.

[@cameronhermann9400]

Wow
