El Chapo Raid POV

Published: January 12th, 2016

I am not sure how ABC news knows this is the Raid on El Chapo but it is certainly not GoPro nor is it raw footage. First you can see that the video is edited from different cameras. The shaky camera is actualy a Contour camera attached to the side of one of the guy’s helmets. He does not appear to be shaking at all so I think his Contour is on the fritz.

Most of the officers are using what looks like an M4 with Aimpoint Pro and equipped with a SureFire M900 Vertical Firegrip light.

However there are these two guys with grenade launchers.

Here is a longer version of the video above.

  @Uniform223 That movie was such garbage. Even the action scenes were lame.

  @USMC03Vet If watch that film only for the action scenes then you are missing the point.

  @Chi Wai Shum The point of what? A poor script and irrelevant everything? Oh you must be talking about the cynical and tired meme of US government responsible/America bad message at the end.....
  Movie blows and so does your opinion.

  @USMC03Vet Bet you think lone survivor and American sniper were good movies though....
  Sicario was fantastic. The cinematography alone makes it amazing.

  @Uniform223 Well the equipments in that movie are bad. The Mexico marines in real life have better gears than delta forces from that movie.

  @gibonez Yeah the never ending fly overs of terrain to fill time in.......
  American Sniper was stupid. Lone Survivor was at least entertaining. Sicario was total balls and thus failed miserably at the office.

Curious to my ears was that the guy shouting orders did not speak Spanish with a Mexican accent. The Mexican accent is very easily detected; it's sort of sing-songy. This guy's accent sounded almost like a Puerto Rican/Carribean accent, but like someone who primarily speaks English. In other words, like a Hispanic American that grew up speaking both languages, but masters English better than Spanish. I hope that makes sense.

  @Double A.D. There are many mexican diferent accents as well as there are many different accents in European Spanish. They all have spanish as a mother tongue...the strong words and the way the speak and shout...it is quite clear.

  @Adrián Yes, I am aware of that. However, my point still stands. As well as being a native Spanish speaker, I work extensively with many people from all over Central and South America. I think I've developed a pretty good ear over the years for accents and where they're from. My job kind of depends on it. Could I be wrong? Good possibility, but I don't think so.
