For one, I, and almost everyone I know, heard about this killing of OBL either through Twitter or Facebook. I realize this has been the trend for quite some time, as I also heard about the death of MJ from twitter , but what does this say about the future of official news? Secondly, here is a mans tweets in Abbottabad during the time of the raid... pretty crazy: @ReallyVirtual -Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event). -A huge window shaking bang here in Abbottabad Cantt. I hope its not the start of something nasty :-S -all silent after the blast, but a friend heard it 6 km away too... the helicopter is gone too. -the few people online at this time of the night are saying one of the copters was not Pakistani... -Since taliban (probably) don't have helicpoters, and since they're saying it was not "ours", so must be a complicated situation #abbottabad -people are saying it was not a technical fault and it was shot down. I heard it CIRCLE 3-4 times above, sounded purposeful. -Two helicpoters, one down, could actually be the training accident scenario they're saying it was >> http://bit.ly/ioGE6O -I think the helicopter crash in Abbottabad, Pakistan and the President Obama breaking news address are connected. -Another rumor: two copters that followed the crashed one were foreign Cobras - and got away -Osama Bin Laden killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan.: ISI has confirmed it << Uh oh, there goes the neighborhood :-/
