Critical Situation: Al Qaeda Ambush TONIGHT!

Postby Matt » Tue Nov 20, 2007 3:25 pm

Tonight is the night! The episode of Critical Situation with main roles and extras in the reenactment played by members of APST will air on National Geographic. The episode starts at 7PM Pacific / 10PM eastern. For programming details check here. Here's National Geographic's description of tonight's show:

On March 4th, 2002, U.S. Navy SEAL Neil Roberts prepares for a nighttime mission in Southeast Afghanistan as part of Operation Anaconda. Robert's special forces unit prepares to fly deep into enemy territory - the Al Qaeda stronghold in the Shah-e-Kot Valley. U.S. advanced technology indicates the area is clear, but an enemy rocket-propelled grenade unexpectedly hits the chopper. Amidst the chaos, Roberts falls from the helicopter and is left alone on a mountain top with only a light machine gun to defend him against approaching Al Qaeda fighters. Robert's unit realizes he has been left and is determined to save their stranded comrade. Outgunned and outnumbered, the SEALs, and later, Army Ranger rescuers, face a desperate struggle for survival against a merciless Al Qaeda force.

Don't miss it. Tune in to National Geographic tonight and see Rick Raddue fall out of a chopper!

Ok, that's great - you got your face where it should be on camera [after dive-rolling 30+ times], but can you grimace next time?


BWAHAHAHAHAHA
