Instead of operating like clockwork Operation Eagle Claw seemed to be jinxed from the start. The plane involved two stages. The first stage involved setting up and launching the rescue mission and the other its execution. As the lead Hercules C-130 landed in the desert of Tabus a bus full of civilian passengers came rolling past. The 44 people on board had to be held captive till the mission ended. Eight Helicopters were to take part in the mission; RH-53s manufactured by Sikorsky and used in Vietnam as well. A sandstorm caused two of the helicopters to loose their way and not reach the landing area. A third helicopter developed technical difficulties on the ground and could not fly. The equipment and men were ready but there were not enough helicopters. The mission was aborted but the worst was not yet over. At take-off a fourth helicopter crashed into a C-130 and caught fire. The Ayatollah called it Divine Intervention.

I still believe that it failed because of proponents of Ronald Raegan who later delayed the release of the Hostages in Iraq because Daddy George Bush met with certain people in Paris and arranged for the hostages to be held until noon of January 20, just after the solemn oath (a lie by Raegan) to become President. Because such antiAmericans caused the hostages to be held in terrible captivity many extra days or weeks, it seems plausable that they also interferred in the atempted rescue. Thanks to fullon whose answer is beyond excellent. (fallon: where did you get such details? Your answer is amazing. Thanks.
