Operation Black Swan




In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out).

If this video was uploaded before 2017 and has gone private, there is a chance that a 360p archived version can be viewed on archive.org via the site's Wayback Machine as follows:

Description:

Footage of the 2016 house raid by marines from the Mexican Navy's Special Forces, to capture drug lord Joaquín Guzmán (El Chapo Guzmán).


According to the official report released by Mexican Navy, citizens reported 'armed people' in a house in the coastal city of Los Mochis, northern Sinaloa. The house was then placed under surveillance for a month. When the gunmen returned to the house, it was raided in the early hours next day (8 January 2016), by 17 marines from the Mexican Navy's Special Forces with support from the Mexican Army and the Federal Police. After a shootout, Guzmán was captured by the marines, and so was cartel lieutenant Óscar Iván Gastélum Aguilar (El Cholo).

Initially, Guzmán and Gastélum managed to escape momentarily through a manhole under the house that led to the city's sewer system. They stole a vehicle at gunpoint. The authorities located and intercepted the vehicle.

Five gunmen were killed, six others were arrested, and one marine was wounded during the raid. The Mexican Navy said that they found two armoured cars and eight assault rifles (including two Barrett M82 sniper rifles, two M16 rifles with grenade launchers, and a loaded rocket-propelled grenade launcher).
