The Canadian ambassador who helped six American diplomats escape after the US embassy in Tehran was stormed by Iranian revolutionaries in 1979 has died, his family has said.

Hiding six Americans in his home in Tehran for three months?

Incredibly brave man.

RIP, Ambassador Taylor.

Sorry I was too tied up during school and not following politics and world affairs at that time to realize what this brave, great man did, but want to acknowledge this great man now.

Dual citizen HERO.
Canadian and US.

Some people just know what is right and go ahead and do it.

I'm ashamed to say I didn't really know any of this story until I saw the movie Argo. Of course, I was just a kid during the hostage crisis, and probably wasn't paying it all as much attention as I should have.

RIP to a brave man.
