Years later I was talking to someone that was in the Army in Germany when the Embassy was taken, he said the Army was going to rig up some JATO motors backwards on C-130 transports fire the motor at the last second 8' off the ground and drop them into the soccer stadium across the street from the Embassy. He said they were predicting a 50% casualty rate just from the landing.
