Sergeant 1st Class Norm
'Hoot' Gibson leads his group of Delta soldiers to the 2nd crash site.
They find nothing. |
After researching this I have only found that part of the
10th Mountain convoy reached the 2nd crash site and not Gibson.
FICTION |
 |
The 10th Mountain convoy composed of four Pakistani tanks,
28 Malaysian armored personnel carriers (APCs), and 150 American soldiers
head out to save the pinned down soldiers in the city. |
The convoy was predicted to have left the Pakistani
stadium at this time.
FACT |
 |
Right before he dies, Corporal Jamie Smith tells Sergeant
Matt Eversmann to tell his parents that he had fought hard. |
Smith really did tell this to his comrades before he died;
however, Eversmann was not there when he died.
FACT & FICTION |
 |
At around 1:55 AM some of the 10th Mountain convoy reaches
the Rangers at Super 61's crash site. |
Matt Eversmann's Chalk 4 was not actually there.
FACT & FICTION |
 |
The soldiers that are not badly injured must run all the
way to the Pakistani headquarters. |
The men really did have to run all that way.
FACT |
 |
Sergeant 1st Class Norm
'Hoot' Gibson tells Sergeant Matt Eversmann that he is going back out to
save the other soldiers that are still pinned down. |
It is not known if Gibson actually went back out to help
other soldiers.
FICTION |
 |
Eversmann says, "Nobody asks to be a hero.....it's just
that it sometimes turns out that way." |
Sergeant Matt Eversmann never really said this; it was
just a good ending to the movie.
FICTION |
 |
Eversmann says good-bye to his best friend Corporal Jamie
Smith. |
Matt Eversmann was not the soldier that actually went to
say good-bye to Smith; Sergeant Watson was the solider that said good-bye to
his friend.
