The accident was more likely due to what some experts have been alluding to below. Here are a few points:

1)



2)

I'm not even an armchair expert or anything, but it just strikes me as utterly bizarre that these guys would make a mistake like that. It's like if one of the SEAL team members accidentally shot himself in the foot holstering a pistol or something. Yes it could happen, but it just seems so unlikely given how good these guys are expected to be.

And I'm a bit skeptical about the windshield needing a treatment. AND it interfering with NVGs. Glass isn't the most radar reflective material (why cops train to shoot for the license plate with speed radar), and I'm sure they could easily be replaced with Lexan, which wouldn't need any coating as far as I know. On the other stealth programs, it's the frame around the canopies/windshields that gets the funky stealth serrated treatment. However if there was some necessary anti-radar coating, and this was a 10-year old developmental mod of the Blackhawk, I would think it would be thoroughly tested for NVG compatibility, especially in helicopter use. (Comanche program would have provided a ton of data.)

I'm just throwing out some plausible (completely not based on any facts whatsoever) reasons for what happened, that saves the pilots some embarrassment.

A: "What happened"
B: "I clipped the wall."
A: "WTF??? You're kidding???"

I work for him. I don't think he works. Lol He just sits in his office and reads about conspiracy theories. Then walks out and tells me about them. Lol..

I feel sorry for people who think like your boss!

If Al Qaeda and Aljazeera confirmed that Bin Laden is dead what else is there to question!?!

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/mi...329911287.html

That the Americans were able to kill Osama is not shameful to us. Where else do men and heroes die except on the battlefield? Every end is predestined. But can the Americans with their media, agents, machinery, soldiers, intelligence and equipment kill what Sheikh Osama lived and fought for? Never, never.

Sheikh Osama did not build an organisation that will die with his death and leave with his departure...

The nation that gave birth to Osama is a fertile nation. Many more men and heroes like him will come, who will enjoy sacrifice and find patience sweet, who will make the life of their enemies bitter and open to them the doors of hell or lead them to heaven in shackles...

That reminds of the Dave Chappelle skit about Tupac! Hilarious
