WAS IT A “CRASH” OR A TAKEDOWN?

SEAL Team Six is based in Virginia Beach, VA and conducts covert operations which are generally not discussed in the media
(Aug. 10, 2011) — On Saturday, August 6, 2011, 38 people were reported killed when a Chinook helicopter went down in Maidan Wardak Province, Afghanistan. Both the terms “crash” and “shooting down” have been used to describe how the aircraft was destroyed.
It has been reported that those who perished consisted of “30 American troops, seven Afghan soldiers and an Afghan interpreter.” The Associated Press reported that “most” of the Special Operations troops were from the Navy SEAL unit which killed Osama bin Laden on May 1, 2011.
However, an overseas report stated that “None of those killed were part of the SEALs mission that killed Osama, but they were from the same unit as the Osama team” and quoted from an AP report. Another article concurred that none of those who lost their lives had been part of the bin Laden operation.
