9:58Now PlayingIt was a moment in history that if you witnessed it has probably stayed with you forever. I saw the Iranian Embassy Siege live on tv when I was six years old and I never forgot it, and incredibly 45 years later I was able to hold an MP5 used by one of the SAS soldiers that actually stormed the embassy!
