On January 20, 1981, 52 American hostages were released from captivity in Tehran, Iran, just moments after the swearing in of newly-elected President Ronald Reagan. As the freed hostages were transferred to a U.S. Air Force base in Wiesbaden, Germany, they were greeted by former President Jimmy Carter, who had spent the last 444 days agonizing over their fate.
