Tell that to the people who experience disasters or overseas hostages that are rescued.

To be fair, these were the last words Bin Laden heard.

To be accurate, Bin Laden just heard a pop.

One thing I thought about when watching 0 dark 30, seems like he would have heard the helicopters and if the compound/fortress had had a bunker or underground escape route, they would have had sufficient time to use it. Good thing for us, he wasn't that resourceful.

The last thing Bin Laden heard was "welcome to hell, love Lucifer."

If I remember right, one of the helicopters crash-landed and was destroyed by the SEALS, but what remained were parts of a stealth helicopter that had never been seen before.
I can't imagine a helicopter being too quiet, but maybe it is.

It was the new Ninja Helicopter.

It was the new Ninja Helicopter.
In the film it was noisy like a regular helicopter and they showed the crash, and later on, its destruction.
I had forgotten that one crashed, and even though I knew how the story ended, I thought to myself, "oh no, it's a Jimmy Carter rescue mission again!"

My understanding of the Stealth chopper is that radar has a hard time
getting a fix on it and the noise factor is reduced significantly, it's faster
than most and has a lot of electronics on board that allows it to fly in
lousy weather.
There is a protocol for destroying the sensitive gear if it goes down,
similar to AWACS...stating the obvious here...
