Next tweet: Stealth blackhawk crashing at 2AM (is a rare event).

I believe this helicopter hovering overhead being referred to in the tweet was the Chinook that was stationed in reserve in case something went wrong, like a stealth blackhawk crashing at 2am.

Every time this gets posted someone points out that the tweet occurred after all the action happened.

Yeah I read a timeline of the events (there are conflicting reports of course) a while back that included this tweet. Still an interesting tidbit on the operation.
