    ^ that image was posted before. Its still interesting though. Its the tail rotor of the Blackhawk that went down but it shows that this was a stealth helicopter because of the unusual rotor configuration.

    there has to be some upset people that this all got out. Certainly not the way you want the news broken on your newest little toy.

    I'm fascinated by the helicopter that went down though. Did it still land upright? did the rotor break off on the wall or did the explosion toss it away?

    It's incredible to think that they operation still went as well with that big of an accident happening before boots hit the ground. Those guys are amazing.

    I saw a thing on the news last night that did an animated recreation. The chopper developed problems while it was hovering getting ready for the SEALs to fast rope down. The pilot noticed the problem and did a controlled crash landing in one of the fields in the compound but the tail clipped a wall and broke off. Since the tail section was on the other side of the wall the SEALS didn't have time to destroy it along with the rest of the copter.

    The Pakistani military carted off the section pretty quickly and the US is demanding its return but there is no word on if that might happen. Some speculation is that the Pakistanis may have given / sold it to the PRC.

    repped.

    Sucks the cats out of the bag. Obviously they they only gain so much from the tail but it still a valuable.

    Thanks for the rep. Just relaying what I saw. There might be quite a bit they can learn from it. Some reports are saying that the wreckage was covered with some type of fabric that may be radar dampening along with some other unusual materials. The tail rotor and damper infront of it are very unusual and may represent a big step in helicopter design. We also don't know how far Chinese stealth technology is and this might provide them with the breakthroughs to build their own stealth chopper.

    Consider that the Soviets were able to build their own H-Bomb just by analyzing the fallout from US H-Bomb test. Anyway I doubt the stealth helicopter could've been kept secret for long once they started to be used on missions.

    I call fake.

    A.)They say they didn't get pictures of him at his compound.

    B.) They say he got shot above his left eye, not in his eye.

    C.) Osama typically wears all white, I think.

    D.)That's not very greusome. I expect the actual picture to be far more gruesome.

    Fake. The floor does not match the house's floor. There are no tiles in Osama's house.

    Regarding the evidence of the newest plan to throw off trains on the anniversary of 9/11, if I was a terrorist, I would do it on another date than the anniversary of 9/11. Everybody knows to be alert on 9/11, KWIM?

    Imagine if they pulled it off on such a high security day as the 10th anniversary? It would be one hell of a message for them to send.
