Pics of some dead dudes at Osama's house.

[Appaholic]

There is no way to tell about how those guys were shot by looking at those pictures. Two of them are likely head shots, but it is impossible to know where the bullet wounds are. The entry wounds could even be visible and just not apparent in the pics. (I have examined a number of 9mm entry wounds that you literally had to spread the flesh apart to see the hole).

Looked to me like the one guy could have taken an entry wound to the chin.

Agree. He also looks like Osama's son. I think I read he was standing on top of stairs as the SEALS rushed up to the 2nd floor, so a chin shot from a lower position could be right....

Either way, looking at those last 3 pictures has made my day!

All the money in the world at their disposal and these motherfuckers still lived---and died---like pigs.

Ironic that they don't LIKE pork....but based on the condition of that house, they might as well have been living in a cave...

If you're laying on your back won't the blood pool ALWAYS be under your head/body?

Yes, but with no entry wounds on the front and pools of blood under the head only, it's pretty easy to tell where they were shot.

I imagine the SEALS entered the house with weapons set on full automatic. These guys appeared to have been killed with single shots. One of the guys had a lot of blood on the front of his torso. He probably took several rounds in the gut/chest. He was probably the first one encountered just inside the door. The other two clearly weren't shot with full auto and weren't shot from the front.

Possible, but SEALs rarely use full auto.

I thought it was a Comanche at first myself. but I don't think that is the type of bird that crashed.
I think it's some type of new stealth Blackhawk type of helicopter.

I'm sure some of the military guys on here might be able to fill in the blanks.

There is lots of speculation on the interwebby and the best I can come up (talking with some helicopter guys in my shop) it was most likely a highly modified Sirkorsky UH-60...most likely flown by the 160th SOAR (Special Operations Aviation Regiment) out of Fort Campbell KY...

Here's one of the drawing I've seen...could be the same...

Boy, that looks pretty close, Hoagie.

Agreed. I thought that might be his son when I first saw the pic. There is definitely a resemblance.

Those pics made my day too. The only bad thing is that it was probably quick and painless for them.

Those aren't close to the same helicopters.

That is obviously an artist's rendering of a classified paltform and therefore it is not going to be exact, but the tail spinner is VERY close with the baffling. The machine housing is different, but I guarantee you that the real thing was a modified Blackhawk and therefore the drawing is going to be close.

They are very close to being the same helicopters.

The one in the photo is a tandem-seat - different body.

Care to share what photo you got that from...what I've seen from INSIDE the courtyard was basically destroyed...

The piece of the tail rotor that was over the wall and OUTSIDE the courtyard is the only piece that is readily identifiable...

Besides, show me a tandem helio ca[able of carrying a squad of folks with combat loads...

I know you worked on Army helios at one time...but come on, you got all that from an ash pile?????

I said that the photo up above and the artists drawing are not the same bird, the photo is a gunship.

The piece of wreckage looks like it's from a Blackhawk.

I'm curious as to what photo you are talking about.

Also, I have gone through life thinking that 'tandem seating' means side-by-side. Is that not the seating arrangement in the Blackhawk? Or have I been living a lie?

I was referring to the photo posted by Wedgebuster. Tandem seating is front and back, like a tandem bicycle. Unless it's me that's been living a lie.

...naw, I won't...

You're getting old, T, time was you'd have been on that like a chicken on a june bug.


Get that rocking chair out on the porch of that little cabin in the hills....

No, you are correct. Tandem seating is front-back.

I thought you were referring to the artist's rendering, not the photo of the Comanche.
