I met a guy a few years ago who was in the real unit when that took place. We never talked about it though. And, a guy I was working with last year went to sniper school with one of the snipers who volunteered to rope down to help the pilot. I forget which sniper it was. But, he said the guy was one of the most unassuming people you'd ever meet......just a common man performing a very uncommon feat.
The pilot that was eventually captured and held for several days released a book about his ordeal. I forget the name of the book but it was a very good read. He really did a good job explaining the situation on the ground from the snipers' and his POV at the time of the crash.
