The Battle of Mogadishu: The Real “Black Hawk Down”

On October 3, 1993, during "Operation Gothic Serpent", U.S. forces set out to capture top lieutenants of Somali warlord General Mohammed Farah Aidid. What was meant to be a 60-minute raid turned into a harrowing overnight firefight. Somali fighters shot down two Black Hawk helicopters, and a desperate rescue mission followed. Eighteen American soldiers were killed, 73 wounded, and the event left lasting scars on everyone involved. PTSD, US Army Delta Force, Black Hawk Down Movie, Special Episode.
