#3 Second Helicopter Crash Site scene from "Blackhawk Down"

"Blackhawk down" is based on a battle fought by the United States Army Rangers and Delta Force in Mogadishu. In an effort to capture top figureheads in a local militia, the team of United States Soldiers is faced by an overwhelming force of combatants. The chaos that engulfs these soldiers proves to be unexpected, and two of the U.S. Blackhawk helicopters are lost to militia rocket propelled grenade attacks. The mission quickly developed into a rescue operation out of necessity, and the operation demanded resources that were not available to the soldiers. This scene portrays two volunteer Delta Force Soldiers' attempt to rescue any survivors of the second crash. They find one pilot has survived, and carry him from the wreckage. They are faced with hundreds of enemy fighters, and fight to secure the area. The Delta Soldiers are overwhelmed, killed, and the pilot is captured. The insurmountable number of Militia Fighters is staggering to the senses of the viewer and captured the brutality of this battle.
