The hostage taker who survived was spared because he was OK towards the hostages in comparison to the other hostage takers. When fleeing the building the hostages didn't give away his true identity.

As far as I’m aware we’ve not had another hostage situation like this in our country since this happened. I wonder if it’s because they know they’ll be faced with these truly brave, highly trained and selfless guys who WILL resolve the situation properly and professionally.

There was a lot more than four of them on the raid. The "four" who you are referring to are known as "the balcony boys." And, yes, they have all passed. But not all of the SAS troopers involved in the raid have passed. Rusty Firmin is still alive, and I'm pretty sure Bob Curry is too.
There were a lot more unrecognised who actually pulled off the raid , my dad’s mate installed the “fish eye” cameras in the building next door which located the hostages (they gave a nod to him in the film “Who Dares Wins” when he does the same in Lewis Collins house where his wife & kid have been kidnapped)
F the pressure. In a situation like that the pressure from the press and media is the last thing they would worry about, if not just entirely off their minds, because of their identities being kept a secret and the intensity of the situation.
I keep forgetting, I was there in 1984 on a week's school trip to London. A few of us went off by ourselves one day and took photos hanging onto the locked metal gates in the doorway. I remember peering into the hallway which was burnt out and derelict. Wish I still had my photo. But at least I've still got my photos from outside the Shell station in Gibraltar I proudly took in 1991. God bless 22 SAS.
@@suburbia2050 is this your way to say you're smart or sth? even they didn't consider themselves Iranian. this is what being a separatist mean: to be considered separate from another country or nation or even ethnicity. i didn't use these terms to specify their ethnicy rather their identity. so next time you felt smart about sth remember this ocasion and get the true meaning of terms.
I was detained deported during the days preceding after getting back to England from a month of walking around Frawnce and 1 week in Amsterdam!

He was sorted out by Hereford council eventually after appearing on GMTV.
to our nation's disgrace.
Absolutely Dave, Hereford council should have done the right thing from the start and not have made this hero end up on Good morning TV.

I read that the sas wanted to take him back inside to kill him but some female hostages stopped them from taking him.
I read different in a book.Maggie said no survivors and the troops wanted to take him outside and finish him off but there was too much media around

Sadly, none of the four man assault team are still with us. They’ve all passed away.
Are they died during combat ? Or old age ?

There was 30 to 35 involved
@SeedyL He's talking about the balcony assault team, known as "the balcony boys." There was 4 of them, and they have all passed.

Still baffles me how one of these hostage takers walks free now in the uk
Where did you get that information from? (I'm not doubting you, I just want to read it myself)
@@upturnedblousecollar5811 Fowzi Badavi Nejad was his name, granted parole in 2008. Before most of our full life sentences were handed out

The very first time the SAS was exposed to the world.
Amazing 🏴🇬🇧

No Brits were harmed during the making of this! Bravo boys!

One was wounded only because of fire
The film 6 days explores this attack very nicely
terrorists were not Iranian, they were Arab separatists. the hostages were Iranian. get your facts together
Exactly finally someone knows
They were from Iran so it makes them Iranian. Iranian is a nationality not an ethnicity. Yeah get your facts right indeed.
