After the diplomatic complex was overrun, U.S. and Libyan personnel rushed by car to the second

the ambassador was alive - we saw the video of him being mistreated and we've been told he died of smoke inhalation - so somebody please tell me why HE wasn't in party of those 'rushing' to the 'safe house' where some 37 people then escaped to the airport ?

Stevens and Smith didn’t make it out, the officials said. The agent, suffering severely from smoke inhalation, went in and out of the building several times to look for them—in vain. He then climbed a ladder to the roof of the building and collapsed, radioing the other agents in a barely audible voice to alert them to the situation there.

The other four agents were able to then reunite, taking an armored vehicle to Stevens’ building. They reached the collapsed agent and tried to set up a perimeter, taking turns going into the building and searching on hands and knees for the missing Americans. Smith was pulled out, dead. Stevens could not be found.
