Episode Synopsis

This coming Monday marks the start of a very dark chapter in American history.  On November 4, 1979, Iranians took over the U.S. embassy in Iran.  Then a 20-year-old U.S. Marine stationed at the embassy, Kevin Hermening became the youngest American hostage held captive for the next 444 days.  In the second installment of his three-part interview with Greg Corombos, Hermening walks us moment by moment as the Americans lost control of the embassy and were taken captive.
