Looking for a photo of media swarming all over a military unit that had just landed on a beach. It was years ago but was in color. Hopefully someone remembers that awful scene. Thanks!

It was the landing of the SEALs on the Somali shore.

Happened in Somalia when my brother was over there. The Clinton admin told the press everything ahead of time.

Yep, that’s the famous photo. The BBC has video footage of the scene I think.

Back in 1993 I think - the real joke was that the reporters got there before the SEALS did if I remember correctly....

El Rushbo played it on his TV show at the time.

Nice, light them up. Well, at least if they take hostile fire the reporters’ bodies could be used for marginal cover.

It was the 1st Bush administration. I was part of that operation. We, the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit landed on the beaches, airport, and seaport of Mogadishu on 9 Dec 1992.
CNN reporters were also there at the airport when we got off the CH-46’s.
