Super secret helicopter?
This is a conspiracy I can get on board with. This is a picture of the tail of the helicopter that was destroyed in Bin Laden's compound. It doesn't look like anything from any Blackhawk I've ever seen.

Honestly it looks MH-60 with some further modifications we don't know about. Pretty interesting.

yup, looks like a new helicopter or at least a highly modified blackhawk. The media around this has it pegged as teh reason that they were able to evade pakistani radar, rather than the flying through dead spots.

An expert in helicopter aviation drew up this rendering based on the tail section, really everything except the tail section is completely a fabrication of his mind, but it still gives you an idea of what it could look like. and another stealth helo

how do you know they were chinooks? So far I have not seen definative proof of any specific helicopter, all we know is that 4 went in and 3 came out. You can fit 11 people in a standard blackhawk with seats installed, you can fit more than 20 in an emergency.
