Will Osama Bin Laden's body ever surface? Did they weigh it down?

[Liberal_in_LA]

Is the media scouring the ocean for it? Can it be found before it dissolves or is eaten? Was it just wrapped in sheets?

So many questions.

1. weighted body bag was what I heard

The sea creatures have a way of "recycling"...hopefully they will take care of it.

2. I read that it was weighed down.

And it wasn't just in sheets, though those were used. There was some sort of outer wrap.

5. did they drop the body from a helicopter or from a ship?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. It was slid off a ship, from a board that was held over the side.

3. If the water is deep enough, and cold enough, it may last for decades.

8. Just don't EVER let James Cameron know where it is.

Or we'll see "bin Laden: The IMAX Experience"

4. The answers for your question exist in the official

reports. The Navy knows how to conduct burials at sea. The bag the body goes in is weighted, and the bag is very durable and resistant to decay. The body is carried to the ocean floor, where it remains.

I assume that the Navy has not revealed the coordinates of the burial, and will not do so. The body will not be found by anyone.

Our Navy is very competent at its job. Thanks for your attention.

blech.

13. That, on the other hand, is always a possibility! :-)

12. Not really that many questions if you read the accounts. That part is not likely

to be revised.

14. Here is the latest photo of the burial at sea.

Apparently the body bag snagged on one of the release cables and they caught a nice Marlin.

16. if you eat any shrimp from the Indian Ocean

there's a 50% chance you will be eating some of bin Laden.
