How the CIA Found Osama bin Laden 

This is why cable TV is dying, when you have creators like neo who create professional amazing documentaries like this. Keep up the fantastic work bae.,

Not only is this an insanely well produced video, it’s invaluable content to history. They don’t teach raw modern history in schools like this. Big ups

I was a little kid so I never quite grasped just how monumental it was finding this guy. I thought he lived in some underground hideout in the middle of nowhere, but he really was living in a luxurious home? And the Ibrahim guy unknowingly led the forces straight there, what a wild goose chase.

4chan could find him in 4 days

This video is being correctly praised for its quality but I want to highlight just how powerful the year transition sections are. The story feels so much more grounded when you're subjected to a montage of what happened at that time rather than just seeing a year number on screen.

This is so well produced. The snippets of headlines to mark the passing of time. The positioning of faces in a relational hierarchy, then faces highlighted as mentioned in the narrative? Damn dude. I was guided through this video and it was a f-ing pleasure. Excellent work.

This shit felt like a cod loading scene

So was this video just a long ad

both of my parents learned to speak, read, and write Arabic in defense language school. my dad was picked up by a contracting company working with the government and spent half my childhood overseas. He’s talked about being able to speak with Sheikh Mohammed while he was in custody in 2003. he didn’t try to hide anything he had done, he was eager to talk about the lengths Al-Queda had taken to carry out the attacks. the men were fully funded and lived in the US for several months, even took flying lessons in Arizona, Florida, and Minnesota. People credit bin Laden with the attacks, but it was Sheikh Mohammed that orchestrated the whole thing. I’m glad that distinction was made in this video edit: Sheikh Mohammed had admitted that he was angry the towers had imploded rather than toppled over. he had given specific instructions to hit the top of the towers anticipating that they would fall sideways.

This video makes a Netflix documentary feel like a middle-school short-film project. Great toning of the voice, the highlights, the structure really keeps you watching from beginning to the end. Keep up the great work neo!

Thank god I got adverts before, during, and after my 16 minute advert.

This was such a good video I signed up to Nebula on your link to watch that one, and also was not disappointed. Your content is top-tier and the hours it must take to make it must be astonishing.

He’s actually hiding out in Admiral General Aladeen’s palace in Wadiya.

Incredibly well made video. Where you got all that old footage and were able to line up all those iconic moments was very captivating. Great job. Keep it up. New sub.

Absolutely love the pop culture montages you use to indicate time. Totally places us in the right era and reminds us of so much.

Those year transitions are fantastic

I feel like this video was just a massive Nebula ad💀💀💀💀💀

This was the best nebula ad I’ve ever seen

On the bright side, this video brought you another subscriber, so regardless of what RU-vid restricts and prevents you from being able to do what you want to do creatively, this video still brings in new fans and potential Nebula subscribers!

This is genuinely the best channel I have subscribed to

After like 4 years of Nebula ads, this is the one that got me.

i remember i was in elementary school when it was all happening and got really vague knowledge about everything rolling at the time, other than the impression of 'bin laden bin laden the terrorist bin laden, and obama'. Now getting to know the details is the feeling words can't explain. total chills. keep up the good work sir. you got yourself a new loyal sub.

Must be hard to go years of nothing to lead off of and probably giving up hope so many times but you know there’s no way you’re stopping because somebody was always going to keep digging on the case.

Just find me a good channel to get my going. Good videos bro.

WOW! JUST.... WOW!!! That's is by far the most well done production that I've seen in a while. You guys are awesome!

Neo your videos have always been highly detailed and well made. Every topic is presented in a perfect manner that keeps the audience hooked till the very end. Not to forget every video on an educational level is a masterpiece. Thanks for providing such great content. Hope you keep making videos and educating people.

Man this is great and the render with the cars love it Great content 10/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I still remember it being a school night and staying up late to see what the President was going to announce and being totally surprised when he announced they killed him. I was too young to understand 9/11 but I feel the same about the night I found out he died as people do about the day of the attacks. I remember everything about it.

As he was moving up in years and showing snippets of current events it gave me chills and made me feel right back where I was during those times

i loved the use of news clips to show the years progressing. such a fantastic stylistic choice.

Its absolutely incredible that you highlighted all the actual significant events down the history happened as the years progressed further.

Man seeing all those clips from the early 2000's brings back memories

A quick comment about America’s interrogation techniques. When Abu Zubaydah was captured, it was the FBI’s Arabic speaking Ali Soufan who first questioned him. Using respect and traditional questioning skills, Soufan learnt key information from Zubaydah which ended up being consequential in the long investigation into finding OBL. The CIA rendered Zubaydah only days into Soufan’s questioning. Once rendered and tortured, it was observed that he gave no further useful information to interrogators. Hence - torturing was counterproductive on every level.

Not expecting such a great quality content. I am blown away with the quality. It’s informative and amazingly gripping. I am happily surprised.

Great video. It’s a shame we can’t see everything you made on RU-vid. Haven’t made my way to Nebula yet-hard to justify getting more video apps.

This is so well produced!

I've seen nebula plugs from so many creators, but youre the first to ever make me tempted to sub, even if just for your extra content. the entire time you were introducing the informants, I was wondering about the torture allegations, and then you brought them up like you read my mind? amazing video :))

I need to say neo's content is insanely unique. The storytelling is amazing. And then you have the high quality animations that is so unique from others. Keep going neo.

Wee bit too much Ambient Occlusion FX on some of those model textures.... They are like... wax figures??? It is kinda cool. Great video!!!!

It is a well made Documentary what i liked about it is this also tells the major events that were happening in those years aside from the CIA investigation. I really appreciate this type of clean clear cut Documentary.

Neo, your videos are amazing. I’m waiting until summer to finally buy a Nebula subscription and binge everything from you and other creators lol

This is probably the best documentary I've ever seen. Thank you for teaching us invaluable historical information ❤❤❤

This is one of the most amazing videos ever seen wow....good job

Absolutely Stunning the sheer quality of these videos, keep it up chief!

The fact that his house was blocks away from Pakistani military academy still blows my mind. So shady

Neo, your videos are amazing holy shit!!! Props to you!!!

Wow, great video and motion graphics!

The whole sequence from 12:08 has brilliant music, straight out of a movie. I would love to know where I could get such music ! Also great work on this whole video !

just wow!!!! This was just in one word 'amazing' !!! This honestly makes me want to subscribe to nebula, and i think im about to cause this was literally a masterpiece!!!!

Your video is soooooo high quality!!

i like the way you navigate timelines

It's crazy we can have access to such amazing quality documentaries like this for free! That shot at 2:45 literally gave me chills. Time to get nebula so I can see the next part :)

This was worth the wait, one of the best videos That I have watched on RU-vid ,great work👌🏾

I love your animation style a lot. It is very creative and unique.

Weird how the U.S. government had so much trouble finding someone they themselves sheltered.

I can't express how I love this 3D style! It is soooo great! Thank you for inspiration! And for great stories!!!! Instant subscribe!

the production value of this was incredible, wow

great video. I genuinely liked the info and new learning. just cut short because i am a student from a poor country who cant afforr a subscription on nebula where all the complete and detailed infos really are. such a shame.

Your work is amazing

There hasn't been anything on Nebula I've really liked... until now. So excited to see your take on the Bin Laden raid.

I have commented before on Neo's unique & enriched way of creating content like this & i'll say it again and again. Keep up the amazing work, it's impressive to very very minute detail ❤

Very nicely produced, but you forgot to mention about how the compound was observed for years and they were able to deduct a high-ranking al-Qaeda leader lived there because they always burned their trash and there was one person living there that never left.

I got click tricked

This was a very well done video detailing the history of searching for and finding Osama. I've never seen a better video on this topic --others are either 60 min long or too short to cover all the important details. Plus this video had great story telling and visuals.

I thought your transitions using mainly news headlines and the like--Steve Jobs unveiling the iPhone, the 2008 election, etc.--was really cool. Great video.

Rest in peace to those who died during this horrible horrible incident 9/11 So sorry to their loved ones 🕊🤍

I'm a huge fan of your channel! ❤

Great video man, really well done. Can you do how the east german Stasi worked next? I think that would be beyond interesting.

Wow the production value of this is off the charts! Great work!

Great job, fantastic video!

Why Kashmir is included in Pakistan’s map at 13:38sec?

love how the video was made & edited makes it really interesting & more entertaining to watch

RU-vid wasn’t how it is now when I was in high school in the ‘00s. I hope they utilize videos like these to teach kids. They will retain the knowledge better and actually enjoy learning. Great video!!

I grew up a military child where dad did 2 tours of combat to Iraq. Hearing the news that night, people parading on tv will be forever unforgettable.

Man, this was a great video, and I really enjoy the effort that goes into it but, it really sucks that the best part, the other video, is stuck behind a paywall on another site :(

Good thing I Found this channel 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is really informative. Please note though that the animation about the contact guy being followed in Peshawar, Pakistan has one mistake. The traffic in Pakistan is on the left side of the road, not on the right as it was shown.

such high quality documentary with amazing storytelling, this is why I am always waiting for videos from neo, Lemmino and few others!

Just like how Vox/Johnny Harris popularized the animated maps thing, I love how neo does the 3D model things.

so basically leaving us with a cliffhanger behind a paywall to know the end great

Love these 3d render for storytelling

The mix of story telling and editing are very well done here. Great job.

The quality of this channel is incredible, and the incorporation of 3D animation is great. Although the realism of the car following takes you about the story a little, I'm sure that will get better with time!

Lol this entire video is a lure advertisement for Nebula

I can only imagine the amount of hours and effort it takes to create such high quality content - those 3D models are insane!😅

Great video, amazing! Loved the time skips over the years. Keep the work up mate

awesome video! however can we just talk about how that was the BEST add for nebula? like im a subscriber already but i watched it through just because it was so good

These docs are truly amazing

Good video, I just wish you would have started by informing us you have the second half behind a pay wall

13:49 Best decision not to inform Pakistan or we’d still be looking for Bin Laden. 💀

great animations! thank you for the great video

I like the way you portray how years pass

Seeing the clip as years go by, remind me that we almost forget about Bin Laden but our agent was actually keep searching for him.

damn Mo got that r32 skyline (@ 3:43)

Sucks that we have to pay for another service to finish the documentary. Great production with no ending sadly.

Unless you've got some sources to cite, I'm going stick with Seymour Hersh's very well researched and very well cited version

Hey bro. Excellent videos. I was thinking you should do one on “Chavin de Huantar Operation” where Peruvian special forces rescue and free the Japanese Embassy from a terrorist group who held captive a various number of people for months

Great production quality. New information to a subject that has been very murky for years. Top job Neo.

Dude great animations and visuals 👌

Spectacularly well done.
