Ep 10. Commando Rescue
- March 8, 2010
Scott O'Grady's F-16 Fighting Falcon is blown to smithereens over Bosnia. Lucky to be alive, he needs to outmaneuver Serbian ground forces who want one thing only - his head. In Afghanistan, a US Marine accidentally falls out a chopper door and into the arms of heavily armed Al Qaeda terrorists. And in Sierra Leone, British soldiers are captured and exploited as live bartering tools by a gang of drunken guerilla warriors. Will these fallen heroes suffer the ultimate sacrifice? Or can their brothers in arms, risking life and limb, rescue them in time?
