Two Albanians watch a U.S. marine CH53 Super Stallion helicopter take off from Golame beach near the port town of Durres, March 16. U.S. marines stormed out of helicopters onto Golame Beach to rescue American, Turkish and Italian citizens from the chaos of Albania as many frantic Albanians attempted to jump onboard. The helicopters kicked up blizzards of stinging sand as they landed and marines used rifle butts to beat off Albanians trying to board the aircraft and escape their country.
