My favorite book of all time and this is what I remember most when I think back on it. When exiting the rescue chopper, the para jumpers had to time the crests of the waves to avoid falling a 100 feet. Both mis-timed the jump and one survived if I recall correctly. Broken ribs, broken arm...was still able to help and be rescued. Crazy stuff. I've always had so much respect for those guys...
