#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

So he has stabilized everything else that's not messed up.

And now when they're moving me around, it's like, oh my God, I couldn't feel my femur before, but I freaking can now.

And I'm like, there's no way my femoral artery is not going to get cut because my leg's moving around and it's all pivoting right there at the fracture.

#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

I think they moved me like that.

So they stick me in the backseat of this car, throw up tarp over me, and then two guys get in the backseat on top of me.

At this point, I'm in so much pain.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

I'm hyperventilating.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

I mean, the sweat is coming out of me like a cartoon character.

#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

And I mean, I think I'm going to freaking die.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

I mean, it's just...

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

off the chart and we're driving through the city and we get to the next destination we stop and everybody else gets out and they leave me there and i'm like son of a they got the video and now they're just abandoning me in the city and they're letting the people do what they will with me was what i thought and i'm waiting and i'm waiting and there's nothing going on

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

And then I kind of move the tarp out of the way.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

And I'm like, could I possibly get in the front seat of this freaking thing and make a getaway here?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

I wonder if they left the keys in it.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

But I don't even know if it's probably a standard shift.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

I mean, I can't drive that with one freaking broken leg, you know.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

But I'm thinking about it, which is a positive sign.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

I mean, I'm thinking about how do I solve the problem, which is, again, my nature.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

And about that time, they all come back.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#259 Mike Durant - 160th SOAR Pilot Who Survived Black Hawk Down and 11 Days as a POW

All they had been doing, I believe, was just going out and reconning and make sure it is what they thought it was in terms of presence of other people.
