I Found Osama bin Laden’s Compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan (SURREAL)

In this vlog, I'm in Abbottabad, Pakistan to visit the site of Osama bin Laden's compound -- where in 2011, he was killed in a raid by Seal Team Six of the US Navy. The site is situated less than a mile from the Pakistan Military Academy, on a normal street in a quiet Abbottabad neighborhood. Bin Laden's house was demolished by Pakistani authorities shortly after the raid, but the foundation of the compound remains. In this video, I explore the compound and talk to neighbors about the events that happened here 12 years ago.

    As their numbers grew they grew increasingly more rowdy. They quickly fell into the role of hustling tour guides asking for money and chipping pieces of the foundation. Even when he offered to buy them ice cream it was a hustle to them with them pulling at the man's ice cream and trying to tuck them away to try to get multiple and weirdly enough trying to hide them as if they weren't going to melt. Kids will be kids but when they couldn't respect the vendor giving them ice cream who actually spoke their language proper, it showed them really. Perhaps they would never do that to their parents, but even its important to learn as a kid to respect those older. To have some structure of waiting your turn and not to grab at his hand and the vendors cooler. None of it was present. And then how they were apparently trying to hit the stray dog at the end. Cruel stuff. I can understand when kids are left alone and everyone wants to look cool in front of there friends but I think it went beyond that.

I tried really hard as it’s apparent you were too, to leave the kids with a good experience or interaction. Being a foreign Soldier in their country and home it was important to always treat the kids this way. And thanks for the video of the former compound. What a surreal experience it must have been for you.

The problem we have right now is our media and the powers that be that manipulate the media. Especially right now the United States is going through some major problems at every angle. Pray that our general elections next year is a positive one. Any hope for the future will depend on this.

I have seen they are very interested in welcoming to Westerners. I think it may be a bit more problematic with the government though. I believe Americans have to have special permission and have an appointed guide to go. It is a shame. I love to travel independent and meet people as I go. One day we average people will be able to travel freely without dealing with the politics.
