00:00I was 20 years old, a young marine, and I was assigned to the United States Embassy in Tehran, Iran.

00:09I had never heard of that country.

00:14I hear thousands of people coming down to the embassy.

00:21And they started climbing over the gates.

00:25For two weeks I had to sleep with my hands in plastic handcuffs.

00:29And I was scared to death.

00:32The administration is now emphasizing diplomacy as the way to get the Americans released.

00:40Iran must be the only country in the world with a television program on how to tackle American commandos in the street.

00:47There was growing desperation.

00:50I was very determined to get the hostages released.

00:54We were getting ready to run for re-election.

00:56Isn't it about time that this country decides we're going to be respected?

01:03You can't look weak here.

01:05The mission was very plain and simple.

01:07Bring home 52 American hostages.

01:09A Delta Force group had been created in 1975.

01:15Only certain people get picked to fly with the special ops.

01:18He said, I'll see you when I see you.

01:20I knew that he was going to Iran.

01:23We would fly into a remote desert location.

01:28Intel said the road you're landing by has never traveled.

01:31All of a sudden there's a flight.

01:32I turn around, coming towards us is a bus.

01:39There was never a full-up dress rehearsal.

01:47All of a sudden I see this rolling fog bank.

01:51Our flight instruments were starting to fail.

01:53It was pretty disturbing.

01:58My friend said, turn on your TV.

02:01Something has happened.

02:04The whole nature of the rescue involved risk.

02:08I never saw the president so shocked and stunned.

02:13Carter said, if we are successful, it will be your achievement.

02:18If we are not successful, it will be my defeat.
