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.,
@@Vativ , we are paying anyway (through ads). Creators do need to get paid for their jobs. :)
@@Sivah_Akash no, I've youtube hacked
@@Vativ So? should he just put his time and effort in making these videos go to waste. We're still paying for it with our privacy. Besides, the quality of a documentary like this is unlike any that a news channel or even Discovery Channel would create nowadays.
This is just an easy remake of the movie 'Zero Dark Thirty'
@@mesaescritorio3290 , but that doesn't change the fact creators can't make videos for free. Most people do use UA-cam with ads.
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
bot comment
ofcourse they do
The graphics are good, but the storytelling is so slow paced.
"History is written by victors"
Would be more invaluable if they told the truth. The CIA knew where he was because they put him there and they knew a Pakistani journalist was going to expose it. So they moved him to another safe location and pretended they had killed him. No body? No problem.
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.
I was in 5th grade when I heard the news. The sense of victory was immense, and seeing the President announce it was wonderful.
@@Butter_Warrior99 u got rekt real bad L bozo amerikans
Bin Laden got popped in his own bedroom, calm down@@AlOqab_
@@AlOqab_ You funny....where can I find your act in the local comedy circuit?
Wait, you believe this bs? The bin Laden family are effing billionaires with deep ties to the Ruling Class and US intelligence…. Not too terribly bright, are you?
This shit felt like a cod loading scene
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.
Those are just incredible. I could watch a video of just those.
@@Matkatamiba I would pay good money to be able to watch hours of those cuts.
I found it funny how critics in 2006 labeled Twitter as a “cyber drug”
And I don’t disagree lol
you have many creative thoughts about pure bullshit, you'll go far...
OBama been Biden !!!??
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.
Thanks so much!
Same
the time passing transitions were stunning, I agree
Passage of time...on a yellow school bus.
Also Made a documentary how America lost in Afghanistan
4chan could find him in 4 days
Real
4chan was fairly young at that time, only a year old. So my assumption is that they too searched for him.
Le heckin four Chan hackerinos
Couldn't agree more
Who is 4chan ?
So was this video just a long ad
Fr waste of time
@@smackcam4458it wasn’t a waste of time. Like the title says, this video is supposed to be informative on how they found Bin Laden, which it is. It explains the journey that was taken and the process in finding him. Wasn’t a waste of time, wasn’t a long ad.
No matter how many views they get, no one would spend over 16 minutes on making 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.
Osama is still considered a hero in the Islamic world because they think he was involved in the 9/11 attacks. Pakistan even chose to hide him and protect him, while pretending to the world that they are against terrorism.
cool

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.
Thank you! Super motivating to read this.

Nah it pissed me off- made me want to get Nebula even less somehow.
This is genuinely the best channel I have subscribed to
Those year transitions are fantastic
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!
WOW! JUST.... WOW!!!
That's is by far the most well done production that I've seen in a while. You guys are awesome!
Guess it wasn't an inside job
@@CharileWaffles unfunny and cringe
its a single guy.
You never saw the bee movie ? Shrek? Your statement is weak
On the bright side, this video brought you another subscriber, so regardless of what UA-cam 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!
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.
There's always that one detective that never quits.
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.
Really?
@@hoanvu9418 uh...yep?!
@@kimkhanhtran143 Oh kei!
Speaking of school. I was in middle school and for our "knowledge about society" classes, two students a week had to prepare a presentatiom covering important events of that week from either the country, or the world. I just so happened to have the "events in the world" presentation when it was announced that bin Laden was killed.
Now that your an adult. You should know the reality. Osama fought American proxy in Afghanistan. He was fed and dressed by the Us, so this mission was about hunting on of their own. It has nothing to do with my religion. Beautiful Islam. You may have witnessed another Us man that was the leader of the Isis, how he was created by Hilary.
This was the best nebula ad I’ve ever seen
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.
I don’t understand so you feel just as bad about his death as you did about innocent people dying
Thank god I got adverts before, during, and after my 16 minute advert.

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

Yeah this shit sucked

I mean the title was “how osama bin Laden was found” and he answered it so
true
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 :))
HAHA, I was just thinking the same thing, first time I've ever considered subbing to Nebula
Don't. It's a knockoff youtube.
@@hexagonist23 how is it a knockoff when youtube censors this type of content?
Its absolutely incredible that you highlighted all the actual significant events down the history happened as the years progressed further.

@@neoexplains great work Neo.
What surprises me the most, is how the US continues to support Pakistan militarily, and financially, after Pakistan has stabbed us in the back so many times.
When the US lost in Afganistan, Pakistan celebrated, it's prime minister, and military leaders openly said that "pakistan won against the US using US' money." Yet, we're still helping them.
well edited. but.. i watched the whole thing and saw no footage of bin ladin being captured.
i will believe in the tooth fairy before i would believe that crap
Man seeing all those clips from the early 2000's brings back memories
Your video is soooooo high quality!!
Absolutely Stunning the sheer quality of these videos, keep it up chief!
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 one of the most amazing videos ever seen wow....good job
You should be careful of propaganda.
Maybe research a little?
Great video. It’s a shame we can’t see everything you made on UA-cam. Haven’t made my way to Nebula yet-hard to justify getting more video apps.
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!!!!
Thank you! Comments like this are extremely encouraging
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 motivating to hear; Thanks!
Literally every comment up to now has been praising the creator and nothing about the specific content. I find that very suspicious.

I love your animation style a lot. It is very creative and unique.
Wee bit too much Ambient Occlusion FX on some of those model textures.... They are like... wax figures??? It is kinda cool. Great video!!!!
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 every level. if they had gotten to him first, they probably would have gotten the same info he gave to ali soufan
Absolutely! This has always been the case. Torture only results in people telling you what you want to hear so the torture can stop. I honestly can’t believe we’re still using such barbaric techniques.
CIA concluded, before 9/11, that torture did not work.
Found the weak sensitive liberal
Girly jim
Well they tried to pretend they were the Saudis so Abu Zubaydah reveal information which he did
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 :)

@@GoldAk47 this is the only comment by him talking about nebula
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.
Neo, your videos are amazing holy shit!!! Props to you!!!
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.
There hasn't been anything on Nebula I've really liked... until now. So excited to see your take on the Bin Laden raid.
Wow, great video and motion graphics!
Weird how the U.S. government had so much trouble finding someone they themselves sheltered.

The fact that his house was blocks away from Pakistani military academy still blows my mind. So shady
They built it for Osama after they captured him years earlier.....it was NOT his HQ....it was where they put him with the Saudi govt paying for it.....this video is a CIA funded lie

Blame the Greedy Satanist - capitalist American - the owner leased and insured the building few days before the explosion but in that day him and daughter wasn’t in - she had an appointment and had her daughter came later than she usually does I believe - and George bush is fine to school telling students about plane - makes me sad how this people kill their own brothers and sisters for profit money and power -
Your work is amazing
the production value of this was incredible, wow
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'm a huge fan of your channel! ❤

Great job, fantastic video!

love how the video was made & edited makes it really interesting & more entertaining to watch
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!
The phrase "heavy airstrikes" is an understatement. Countless missiles, probably 500
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.
Great video, amazing!
Loved the time skips over the years.

" ... on which my friends and I have embarked ..." is better than " ... which me and my friends have embarked on ...". In general, you confuse "me" with "I". This was an outstanding video. Well Done!
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.
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 :(
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.
I don't want to sound like a conspiracy doubting Thomas type of theorist, but I sometimes have doubts about whether they ever actually did catch his butt. The Burial at Sea versus bringing him back to the United states, doing some DNA stuff to prove to the world that they finally got this monster. I'm just not entirely convinced
That's understandable. However, what were the alternatives?
Were they going to bring his body back and put in on display to confirm it was him? Even if they had, some would say that it could be a body-double.
Were they going to publish photos? Same thing.
Were they going to bury him somewhere in the US? Not likely, especially when such a site would no doubt become both a shrine and a target.
I think if OBL had not been killed then he would have shown up somewhere by now, if for no other reason than to embarrass the US in some way. That hasn't happened.
Like the guy above said, he would’ve come out and said he wasn’t killed
Politicians pull fast stunts to keep themselves in power. George W. Bush took out Sadam Hussein, and that only made the situation in Iraq 10 times worse. Obama says look we've killed Bin Laden. And yet no one can even name the man who shot him. See what I'm getting at?
Bingo
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.
Great video man, really well done. Can you do how the east german Stasi worked next? I think that would be beyond interesting.
true. And this is not really discussed anywhere
You should watch the movie The LIves of Others if you're interested in the Stasi. I can't recommend it highly enough.
I'm more interested in how the United States Stasi operates.

Unless you've got some sources to cite, I'm going stick with Seymour Hersh's very well researched and very well cited version
Love these 3d render for storytelling
Just like how Vox/Johnny Harris popularized the animated maps thing, I love how neo does the 3D model things.
Censoring this content is madness.
