wonder how the helicopter got damaged

Wasn't it blown up on purpose because they couldn't get enough lift, due to the walls, to fly out when the job was done?

I think it suffered some damage before landing (supposedly it landed hard too). Some are thinking the tail hit the wall of the compound, which would surely make one hell of a mess out of a tail rotor.

Not surprised to see a new stealthier tail rotor first get employed on helicopters for SOCOM use. Makes sense, not from a radar stealth point of view, but a noise and IR POV. AFAIK they were already flying under the radar.

It had mechanical problems that were probably beyond repair on the spot so they just used a good amount of explosives and blew it in place. SNAFUs like this are normally planned for in military operations of this design.

Surgical shooting, ftw!

Ya, it was known early on that Bin Laden was a double tap.
