    @ReallyVirtual Thanks for the link, some say the blast happened near Kakul Road residential area. Hopefully not true.

    @m0hcin the few people online at this time of the night are saying one of the copters was not Pakistani...

    @ReallyVirtual Oh! That's not good. Also this is a very unusual time for copter flights.

    @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

    @ReallyVirtual Could be a UFO? No?

    @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.

    @ReallyVirtual is it confirmed that it was short rather than some technical fault

    @wqs figures, if they have the right to shoot planes flying over the president house, the must have the same instructions for PMA

    @ReallyVirtual Was it shot down? Or it crashed by itself?

    @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.

    @ReallyVirtual 3-4 times is a little less. I've been hearing helicopter flying since 12.35 am may be 10-12 times!

    @smedica It must have been more, I started noticing the helicpoter when the noise got irritating - which part of Abbottabd are you in?
