Robert O'Neill recounted the gripping details surrounding the aftermath of Osama bin Laden’s death, including what happened to the Al-Qaeda leader’s body. During the operation, the SEAL Team Six veteran explained that they faced the dilemma of dealing with a downed Blackhawk helicopter, ultimately choosing to destroy it to prevent advanced technology from falling into enemy hands, inadvertently allowing others to replicate stealth helicopter designs.
Once bin Laden was confirmed dead, his body was transported to Afghanistan. There, it was handled by the Army, with media reports indicating a sea burial per Islamic traditions to prevent his grave from becoming a shrine. O'Neill shared an unforgettable moment, watching President Obama announce bin Laden's death on TV, standing over the dead leader’s body while eating a breakfast sandwich. President Obama’s decision not to release photos of bin Laden was discussed, with Obama emphasizing the effort to avoid creating a martyr.
