The motor pool was behind the main gate to the embassy compound. To their right was the chancellory. The operational hub of the embassy that housed the Sensitive Communications systems. The heavy front doors of the chancellory had been bolted shut. Inside were 45 americans and plus iranian staff and some visitors. The marine guards inside fired tear gas to buy time. When it was realized help wasnt coming, one of the chancellory Security Officers went outside to try to persuade the students to leave. He was immediately captured.

The americans surrendered. Just a portion of a canadian documentary which will be seen on cspan3s American History tv later on today.
