The raid started at 5:15 a.m. on a small Miami street on the morning of April 22, 2000. By 5:18 a.m., it was over.
Elian Gonzalez was removed from the home of relatives to be reunited with his father, and a chapter of the family's bitter custody battle was closed.
"In three minutes," reported then-CBS News correspondent Byron Pitts, "six-year-old Elian Gonzalez -- dressed in a t-shirt, draped in fear -- was gone."
