It was a fiasco, according to John Craven, an ambush that went terribly wrong. As daylight broke, a soldier began to retrieve the Claymore mines set out for protection in the night. Suddenly there were explosions and chaos and casualties. Even the Medivac and air support became a disorganized mess. (8:30)
