Found out his nickname is actually Obi-Wan-Nairobi too lol.
Dude is just a badass, the SAS in general are the pinnacle of all warfighters in modern times.
Lads I'm Somali and I loved this reaction, just as I loved a lot of your reactions. I was working in the counter-terrorism department of the Somali government at the time. This guy is a legend to us. And Yes, you can tell a Somali from others very easily lol.
NIce, I didn't even realise Somali had a counter terrorism dept. Kinda been annoyed to somalia and now you give me hope
I'm Kenyan & I don't respect nor like Somalia,
@@overthewebb yeah Somalia is currently well on their way to eradicating al shabab mainly due to the government finally having structure again, most attacks r now petty small ied attacks in the capital due to the attacks getting more attention if done in metropolis areas.
God bless you and your beautiful country folk. One day Somalia will be known for its beauty rather than this filth that has nothing to do with yal in majority
My dad was in the Canadian Military and he has told me stories about joint training exercises over in Europe. Nobody wanted to go up against the SAS, as they'd tie you up with barbed wire.
Shout out to our brothers across the pond. My cousin fought alongside UK troops and had nothing but praise for thier professionalism and warrior spirit.
Respect brother!💪🏼
Not only does this guy get to be a real life James Bond in his Armani jeans.. he’s got, hands down, the best moniker ever given to a human being in ‘obi wan Nairobi’.. I first saw this story in 2019 and have followed him ever since. Truly gutted the MOD refused to allow his book ‘one man in’ to be published I waited with baited breath to buy it for years.. for anyone who’s interested in finding out a bit more about this read ‘terrorist attack girl’ by Meyli Chapman, was is a US lady who was in the hotel and was rescued by him.. really puts into context the full story, both she and Chris have done multiple podcasts also… but in true stoic fashion Chris is humble throughout and never divulges the sort of information we undoubtedly would want to know about his training and what he got up too with the SAS… fucking legend!
I'm American and I love the SAS! They are incredible soldiers. I would love to see this story made into a movie.
Kenyan here
I actually lived on this street when this happened and it was scary af...we moved elsewhere after this and to date I am not comfortable going to malls until now...yall should visit us though we've got a great tourism experience....Karibu Kenya
I hope one day your country will be free from terrorism. I've worked with Kenyan immigrants in the US so I know you are good people who deserve better.
@@aniquinstark4347 we are all good here...no terrorism
@@muthomi__7097 I hear about attacks on Kenyans near the Somali border pretty often
@@aniquinstark4347 That's in Somalia which is a totally different country Kenya hasn't had an terror attack since that incident.
@@aniquinstark4347 It gets bad near the Somali border but it's mostly a desert out there with military camps.
He didn’t go rogue. He sought approval and got given them by his superiors.
Whereas the US special services were told not to get involved.
Proud to be brit ❤
But the US has no problem supporting the corrupt country of Ukraine and provoking Russia.
This never gets old. Ever.
this guy is the definition of the word Hero!
Finally, I've been waiting for you to watch this, also Christian Craighead now lives in the USA!
Hands down the coolest nickname in history, "Obi-wan Nairobi"
Those people are very lucky this guy happened to be nearby. Probably saved dozens of lives. It makes me feel good knowing men like him exist.
Well the video itself said he saved hundreds.
Agreed he likely saved hundreds in reality
@@scotthill1600 It's awesome that action heroes exist in real life. They reacted to a professional arm wrestler named Devon Larratt once. He was Canadian special forces for like 20 years. He had seven deployments and has been shot and stabbed multiple times. He waas in an elite unit called JTF-2.
@@rukus9585 In an attack like this , in an office complex full of people , one or two hundred casualties between four people is certainly a possibility .
@@bryanobrien2726 of course it is. But why are you explaining the obvious to me? Talk about 'preaching to the choir".
Pathfinder Platoon is pretty much a secretive unit even though its not under UK Special Forces, its an elite Reconnaissance unit which takes its roots from the Parachute Regiment. It's a common road to take for those wishing to serve in the SAS but its also a longer process.
Another documentary about this incident said he got permission to go in from the British commissioner to Kenya, there's no way a professional soldier in a foreign land wouldn't seek permission first unless his life was at risk, which it wasn't.
Man what a great way to start the New Year, this video is a masterpiece and I always wanted y'all to watch it!
I can see you earnt your title "Office Blokes", no disrepect. Because you have no concept of how every day British and American Service men put their lives in danger for your's and the rest of the worlds freedom to live and work without worry in an offfice, I made a commitment so that you could do that for 18 yrs of my life , for which i am proud. This guy is on another level!
Regarding the legal implications he had already been given the ok to do whatever he could to help by a British official in Kenya the guy who phoned him when they say he went rouge they just mean he wasn't given official orders by his commanding officer
...point of order here...Kenya is NOT a hotbed of terrorism. The video makes it sound like it's Afghanistan. It is not. There were about 3 terror attacks in retaliation, in the last decade originating from Somalia where the Kenyan Defense Forces and the US army have been carrying out anti terror operations against the Alshabab terror group
He didn't have orders , but got permission from the police on scene to do whatever he had to
Wrong he sought snd got permission from the British Embassy in Nairobi
Happy New Year Blokie boys.
Just a heads up, YT has yet again set new rules in place. Any profanity within the first 30secs of a video is automatic demonetization. Apparently, this is retroactive to all past videos as well (unfairly). Not sure if they send creators a notice or not, but I figured I would put it out there if not. There are a few creators that made detailed vids about it if you wanted to look into it.
Good on you for trying to spread the news in case they missed it. Well done.
Damn, what a warrior
Love this. It's like listening to 3 " Karl Pilkingtons". But you're all good
Ayyy happy new year blokes and everyone!!
Christian Craighead has an interview in the black rifle coffee podcast
It’s called-Doing the right thing regardless of the consequences!
The pathfinders are like us combat controllers. They complete a shortened down selection and most will go on to SF.
This was a very cool video, thanks guys.
Obi wan Nairobi 🥋
I’m wondering if Christian was dismissed or forced to retire from the SAS cause he went rogue or because his face was shown during this event, you can see he took off his balaclava in one point. In any case, this man is a hero, no question about it
Well I did read that there was a certain amount of jealousy amongst some of his colleagues regarding this, whether that's true or not who knows, but he would have been due for retirement regardless.
Yea I’m not going into a situation like this. Glad we have people like SAS… takes more courage than a lot realize.
Message to Mike. The shoes with the compass were called Wayfinders. They also had animal footprints as sole tread too. I had a pair in the 1960's, and you're right in saying that they were very popular. 🙂
My only question is - who the f called Chris Craighead and what were they doing there, with his pers mobile? Craighead's intervention was initiated by a phone call from someone inside the complex.
2:15 That image with the skeleton and heart is known as the Flag of Blackbeard (the pirate), but there’s no proof he ever flew it on his ships.
He didn't go rogue, he got permission to act.
12:30 Now. The Kenyans gave him authority after the fact. He went in and saved people. Job done
now this guy is the real life rambo
Hey blokes! There have been a few interviews with this SAS agent with retired American military veterans that released recently
Embassy officials was inside. He went Rouge, an excuse not to get the blame 😂😂
The reason they showed his face in this vid is because he retired in 2020 but at the time he was still in active service when this went down no one knew who he was or even what country he was from until his identity was released after he retired this vid u guys are watching was only released after he retired and just one more thing his real name isn't Christian craighead thats just the pseudonym he operated under
Seriously, with the gear he pulled out of his car to go on the attack, he had to be British SAS, either them or maybe Jedi.
Ex British servicemen here 🤜🤛 (infantry veteran) ⚔️🇬🇧🫡 I enlisted in 1986 left the service 1995! Iraq (1) then after bit of RnR went to the balkans (joint endeavour) 93!!
Then they use a human bomb to take out the security guards. and then begin their murderous acts. Up to this point everything is going “well” because who is supposed to threaten them and they are the “heroes”. But then suddenly someone of the caliber of the SAS man comes after them and starts killing them. Now they suddenly realize
what kind of nonsense they are and what the person who is stalking them is. Now your horror film begins. Welcome to reality.
Yes he has written a book. With the MOD awaiting clearance.
I've watched a few reactions to this event. Everyone is missing the part where he was in that country training soldiers. He had permission to be there with his gear.
😂 Introduce the operator with full pic..😂then block his face in the rest of the video 😅
This is in 2013, imported terror biggest day wasn't this. 7 Aug 98, and we adapted.
But bad actors are everywhere, democracy/freedom isn't free. We gave up some freedom to get some freedom 🇰🇪
Edit: 🇺🇦 same applies; freedom against world's worst doesn't have bounders. Ukraine needs more.
What a man ❤
Happy New Years Blokes
Pathfinder is 5th airborne brigade ⚔️🇬🇧 advanced para, and 1st battalion parachute regiment are(SFSG) SPECIAL FORCES SUPPORT GROUP)
The top brass wee not happy! Christian Craighead did an interview on Yorube....
It’d be cool to drink beer and play poker with these guys.
Army paths in the United States prepare incoming or outgoing helicopters landing zones, often in highly dangerous areas.
More SAS please!!
Love these popo medic vids.
thanks!
From Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
He got permission from The British High Commission uS Special forces nearby were refused permissionby US authorities from taking military action.
he had permission from uk via uk local embassy the us forces were refused by usa
i believe he had a nod from uk gov but something like SAS generally have the authority to act
Badazz operator! 👍🤟
Every time I hear the word "insurgents" now I think of Katt Williams 😕
Guys the pathfinders are very well known within the military amd they are elite soldiers better than the parachute regiment but not as good as SAS the do reconisons mission's behind enemy lines I was a royal marine commando hence the reason i know
Totally right about Somalia.
Easier to get forgiveness than permission
Did my man on the right piss off whoever did that cartoon illustration of you guys in the intro. Bwcause they did you dirty man, they drew you completely bald! And youre not.
Thjs bothers me because i also have hair issues
Its always religion in the center of all these atrocities and war, sympathy towards the plight of the Palestinian people and so forth, its always Islam against Zionists or infidels a vicious cycle that will never end.
Heard he got permission from the high commissioner
the SAS guy is Captain America
could you please react to BEST Finish in CFB HISTORY 💯 Boise State Upsets Oklahoma: A Game to Remember by Harris Highlights
A fascinating situation but the only thing about some of these videos is the unnecessary music.
He wasn't worried about a bunch of untrained WOG's who had guns, he was worried about the innocent civilians. I'm pretty sure he knew what he was good at and could look at his opponents and determine if they were a real threat to him. In this case, they weren't. He was a highly trained professional and at best he was going up against gifted amateurs. It's like Serena Williams taking on a high school tennis team, there was no contest. This man is a beast and I would say that the SAS lost some talent when he retired, but the SAS is notorious for replacing talent with talent. Nothing but respect for those men.
“What about orders”?…this guy…
More videos of S.A.S please
Black Rifle Coffee unfortunately got WOKE and went BROKE.
Really those guys woke? They are the epitomy of American jingoism
Someone should tell black rifle then as they're at shot show23
Guys I just want to let u know that the video u just watches isn't completely correct Christian actually killed all 4 terrorists ive left comments about him in similar vids and the only one I've seen so far that explains this correctly is on you tube I wish I could remember the name of the guys channel is this the vid from simple history u are watching as I'm very surprised that simple history got it wrong as I said I was in the military and I love this guy he took em all out goggle it if u don't belive me as u heard in the aftermath part of the vid it says he ended the 19 hour seige because he did as I said he took all 4 out im disappointed in simple history if that's the vid you are watching
Suicide by SAS 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
A British Paratroopers is NOT the same thing as an Army Ranger. Jumping out of planes don’t make you the same thing.
The Parachute Regiment is classed as a tier 2 unit, same as the Rangers. In large scale operations they are used as covering force for the SAS. It's very rare for them to go anywhere near an aeroplane.
The parachute regiment does a hell of a lot more than jump out of planes.
not a true representation of Kenya though 🇰🇪
He
I was there. Lived in the area for years. Training the kenyan cops.
They fight for the King now. But they fight for home more.
i think the parthfinders is part of the paras.
14:05 They show his uncovered face
He was known then
