Within minutes, he posted, "A huge window-shaking bang here in Abbottabad Cantt. I hope its not the start of something nasty :-S."

Eventually, Athar resent a post from Munzir Naqvi: "I think the helicopter crash in Abbottabad, Pakistan and the President Obama breaking news address are connected."

Shortly thereafter, another Twitter user confirmed the news, the Journal reported.

The mass media pooped all over the facts on this one, early on. Too bad they weren't watching activity on Twitter, the reports all would not have claimed that: 1. The death happened the week prior to the actual event; 2., happened due to a drone -- or other -- bombing. Again, a week prior.

 

They might have reserved their knee-jerk speculation for more important things, like Trump's shots at Obama's secret college records, Trump's views and character defects, or the next time he takes a shot at the Most Transparent Presidency Ever.
