Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te rerenga Black Hawk i hinga i roto i te kapua matotoru i te wa o te miihana whakangungu i Florida e whitu nga Marines mai i nga ope Special Operations Command i tu ki North Carolina, me nga hoia e wha o te National Guard mai i Louisiana. Na te kino o te rangi i ārai i te tangohanga mai o ngā tinana me te pūrere tuhi rere i ngā toenga i te Rāhoroi, ā, ahakoa kāore i tukuna e te hōia tētahi wā, i kōrero tētahi o te hunga i runga i te hīkopu i mate ki te pāpāho.. Heoi anō, kua whakakitea ngā ingoa me ngā tuakiri o ngā hoia moana e whitu. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ka tukuna e ngā kaihautū tētahi wāhanga o tētahi rākau Black Hawk ki runga i tētahi waka i Santa Rosa Sound e tata ana ki Pritchard Point i Florida. Staff Sgt. Andrew C. Seif (taha maui) me Staff Sgt. Trevor P. Blaylock (matau) Staff Sgt. Ko Andrew C. Seif he kaiwhiwhi o te Silver Star Medal i riro i a ia te tohu mo te aro atu ki te ahi o te hoariri ki te whakaora i tetahi hoa i whara mate i Afghanistan i te Hurae 2012. I whanau ia ki Fairbanks, Alaska, a i noho ia ki Albuquerque, New Mexico, tae noa ki te kura tuarua i te wa i neke ai tona whanau ki Holland, Michigan, e ai ki nga Marines. I tipu ake a Seif, 26, e tākaro ana i te hōia i roto i tōna marae, ā, i uru atu ki te ope hōia i ngā wiki noa iho i muri i tana tohu i te kura tuarua, e ai ki tētahi tuhinga mō tana tohu i whakaputaina i tēnei wiki i roto i te Camp Lejeune Globe, te niupepa pou. I te tau 2012, e rua tau a ia hei kaiwhakahaere ope motuhake me te 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion, e mahi ana mai i te Middle East ki Central Asia. I whakatata atu a Seif rāua ko tana hoa kapa, ko Sgt. Justin Hansen, ki tētahi o ngā tohunga patu patu o te uru o Afghanistan, e ai ki te niupepa. I whakaekehia rātau, ā, i patua a Hansen. I nekehia a Seif a Hansen ki tētahi tūranga haumaru ake, ā, i rongoatia e ia ngā whara o tana hoa. I hoki atu a Seif ki te pupuhi, i haere takitahi puta noa i te pūhui, a, i kitea te kaihanga poma i whāia. 'Ko te mea i whawhai tonu ia (Seif) ki te whaainga ki te tiaki i a Sgt. Hansen, ka tuu i a ia ano ki te raina o te ahi, e korero ana mo te tangata ko wai ia, e whakaatu ana kaore ia e waiho i tetahi Marine i muri,' e kii ana a Maj. Gen. Hohepa...
