The Black Hawk Down Mission Commanders Said Was Impossible
They were told the mission was too dangerous. They asked again. And then they asked a third time. On October 3, 1993, a Black Hawk helicopter carrying Michael Durant was shot down in Mogadishu, Somalia. With armed fighters closing in and no rescue force able to reach the crash site, Delta Force snipers Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart volunteered to be inserted on the ground. Their commanders repeatedly denied the request because two men could not possibly defend the wreck alone. Gordon and Shughart understood the danger—and went down anyway. This is the true story behind one of the most unforgettable moments associated with Black Hawk Down: two American snipers, one wounded pilot, and a final defense that would earn both men the Medal of Honor.
