Black hawk down section 4

this section was very nerve-racking. u never new when a Somalian was going to pop up and kill one of the americans. It was also ironic that they left there biggest advantage there night vision goggles back at the base. I was also suppressed by how many people got injured in the rescue convoy even though they had good protection.

section 3 black hawk down

The battle is getting out of control the americans in this chapter. All there efforts to rescue the crews of the downed blackhawks are in vain. They have either gotten to the crew but then they cant escape and get them out or they don't have any people to get to it. It think you would have to be pretty brave to volunteer to go down and try to rescue the crew with just one other person as with the two D boys and the second black hawk. I am also wandering what will happen to Durrent now that he has been captured.

This section was very gruesome and surprising. I thought that there was only going to be one black hawk that would go down. i also found it terrible how the people in the hummer convoy had to keep driving around under all that fire with no were to go because the helicopters cant give them the directions in time. I also find it strange how every single Somalian has a gun of some sort.
