Guy on Twitter accidentally tweets the Osama Bin Laden Raid :)

I found this funny.  For those not familiar with Twitter it's a message service that lets you send ("Tweet") very short messages out that everyone following you sees.  Apparently he lives in the area and shortly before the raid was complaining about the helicopters flying around.  Near the bottom of the article you can see his messages (and a few others related) as they unfold during the event.

Kind of interesting.

Thanks for the link.  Kind of interesting indeed.  Would seem responses to the unknown are much the same the world over.

It wasn't the training that he was tweeting about - it was the actual event.  The talk of a "training accident" mentioned in the tweet stream was basically just rumor that had gotten passed about (as things often do when people are whispering and chattering about something that has just happened).
