I remember it happening live on the telly.
I was with the girlfriend at the time, watching something on the gogglebox, and they cut to this.
1st time the general population had really heard what the SAS was about and what they did.

The footage was filmed from the student halls overlooking the embassy. Supposedly, one of the students had seen what was going on, called the BBC and charged them £200 to film it from his bedroom. He wasn't seriously disciplined as they were quite impressed with his entreprenurial spirit.

Didn’t they have to stop one of the soldiers who was dragging a surviving terrorist out in the garden to finish him off? Sure he was ushered away and advised it might not be wise
