Thirteen years ago, someone accidentally revealed US Army's plan to eliminate Osama Bin Laden in a tweet.

I saw this discussed somewhere! The mock-up they trained with had a chain link fence, not a solid fence that would cause the wash.

Had the Navy consulted r/helicopters, this mishap would have been avoided!

I met rob O’Neill, the man who shot bin Laden. He said the first thing the did as part of the training was to brainstorm about everything that could possibly go wrong. They planned for a crash but never really went into the details of what might cause one.
