The most dramatic hostage crisis in Modern History

[@Simplehistory]

Looks like KZbin wasn’t a fan of our original videos on the Iranian Embassy Siege and restricted them. So, we’ve combined both videos, sprinkled in some censoring, and are crossing our fingers it follows KZbin’s rules this time! This video was made possible thanks to everyone on the Simple History Patreon: www.patreon.com/simplehistory

THANK YOUUUUU SIMPLE HISTORY!! I always had trouble finding the day 6 video

[@M.R.BrickFilms]

You should cover the 1980 Norco Shootout, which was a bank robbery that involved 5 robbers, a car chase on the freeway, bombs being thrown at police, a helicopter was shot down (it made a safe landing), and a foot chase in the San Bernardino Forest. Three of the five robbers survived, multiple cops cars were damaged, and a riverside deputy was killed, his name was James Bernard Evans

One thing to note about that last guy discovered among the hostages in the back garden: when discovered the SAS attempted to bring him back inside the building to ensure all terrorists were KIA, but when it was pointed out that there were live cameras broadcasting the event they brought him to a police van instead.

Interesting facts for gamers, the rainbow six siege operator, Thatcher, was written to be one of the SAS operators who took part in Operation Nimrod. Another fact is that one of the SAS operators, John McAleese, was the inspiration for the original Captain John Price in the Modern Warfare trilogy.

[@jaderabbit898]

Operation Nimrod is the one that solidified the SAS's place as an elite counter-terrorist role as well as putting the MP5's legendary 'good guy' status on the map.

How a animation can ever be restricted by KZbin whilst we have literally naked women and terrorists on KZbin is beyond me

As a Brit, I for one am incredibly grateful that the SAS exist and are able to perform such operations. They truly have an incredible reputation and I'm very proud of them. Thankyou so much for re-editing this video and putting it back up on youtube. Finger crossed KZbin's hit squad bots don't take it down.

[@zl14l41]

"Police carpenters" is a job title i did not expect to hear

[@rosaria8384]

Turns out these carpenters are very important for these situations, especially for SWAT teams in law enforcement, training for such compounds and facilities that demand precision. The SAS also trained with buses to simulate hostage rescues via breaking windows.

[@Goc4ever]

Well done Simple History, well done. This was a really exciting documentary about the operation that led to the legendary SAS to become legends worldwide. You never cease to amaze me with your content.

Okay, hold on a minute. Earlier you said that out of the 26 hostages only one was killed. But one got shot and killed which prompted the SAS assault. And now another hostage got killed by the terrorists during the assault. So there were two civilian casualties, right?

[@williampeternajorra2007]

I think they meant that during the siege, only one was a casualty. So the first death was not included since he died before the siege.
