The Death Of Osama Bin Laden, Live Tweeted

Sohaib Athar (@ReallyVirtual) ended up live tweeting the raid that killed Osama bin Laden without realizing it. Here are the relevant tweets, as the raid unfolded (along with some of his retweets that lend to the story). You'll find his account here http://twitter.com/reallyvirtual

    @raihak Funny, moving to Abbottabad was part of the 'being safe' strategy

    Since taliban (probably) don't have helicpoters, and since they're saying it was not "ours", so must be a complicated situation #abbottabad

    @kashaziz technically, it is unidentified until identified, and it is a flying object, so year, why the hell not, we have seen weirder stuff

    The abbottabad helicopter/UFO was shot down near the Bilal Town area, and there's report of a flash. People saying it could be a drone.

    @smedica people are saying it was not a technical fault and it was shot down. I heard it CIRCLE 3-4 times above, sounded purposeful.

    @tahirakram very likely - but it was too noisy to be a spy craft, or, a very poor spy craft it was.

    The Major also says no "missiles" were fired and all such exaggerated reports are nothing but rumours #Pakistan

    I think the helicopter crash in Abbottabad, Pakistan and the President Obama breaking news address are connected.
