Thirty years ago today: Iranian hostage rescue mission fails

I remember waking on this date thirty years ago to the tragic news that eight members of our military died in a helicopter crash during an attempted rescued mission of our hostages being held by the mad mullahs of Iran.

ThirdWaveDave remembers too, and offers a retrospective of this sad story, one that led to Jimmy Carter's landslide defeat seven months later.
