Probably some of the details are wrong because of the information blackout. In particular, I don't think Woods and Doherty were the sole defenders ... just the only two whose names were released because they were killed. 8:00 pm {2:00 pm} down away from compound.[2] [3]8:30 pm {2:30 pm} . [1]8:00-8:50 pm approx. {2:00 -2:50 pm} . [3] No protests of the film but some of them lead local youths in chants against the film. [3] Locals agree that this was a pre-planned action with the film used only as a local cover for the action. [3] Some of the militants wearing Afgan-style tunics. [2] [3]mistake: It's Sean Smith.] enter the security area of Building “C” and lock it up. [1] 2 other agents go to Building “B” to get their gear and 1 agent goes to the TOC. The two after suiting up try to head back but are blocked by armed men and so go back to “B” and barricade themselves in there,[1] in the cantina in “B” for about an hour. [2]My speculation on this part. Since “C” was closed up except for the front door area, which is what the militants set on fire, smoke would have only slowly crept into the rest of the area. When the 3 opened a window in a bathroom smoke would get drawn to that window as a draft would form. When they next opened another and the grill to escape the same effect happened making the smoke in that room worse. when the agent went out he started taking fire. I propose that this gunfire made Sean and the Ambassador draw away from the window and that Sean (in another early report he was said to have been shot) got hit by gunfire and couldn’t get away from the increased smoke while the Ambassador was able to crawl back to the enclosed central closet area and close the door. The draft would then tend to lessen the smoke where he was while where the gunshot Sean was it was worse and he rapidly succumbed. This is not a blame thing as all three were in a horrible environment where they could hardly see or breathe and smoke like that of diesel and burning furniture is not just poisonous but mind altering too. 6 man group in a BMW sedan and a Mercedes Benz SUV from the Annex. They encounter the February 17th blockades and the two groups join up to enter the Consulate compound. [2][1]since 9:40 the one agent in the TOC has been in constant contact with the Annex, the Embassy in Tripoli, the Libyan authorities, and Washington calling all the while for help .4:00 am {10:00 pm} Annex fight continues. Four 82mm mortar rounds are fired at the Annex. The first lands just outside of it and the next three land in the Annex. Two on the North building roof where two [ex] SEALs, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty , have been engaging the militants using a light machine gun (SAW). They use a laser designator to paint the mortar crew. The mortar rounds that land on the roof kill them both.[2] 4:30-45 {10:30 – 45 pm}state.gov world.time.com bigstory.ap.org proteinwisdom.com
