Treasure Hunter Says He Has Located Bin Laden's Body
Tossup- General Discussions or Comedy Zone
http://gizmodo.com/5906940/this-trea...in-ladens-body
That smiling guy is Bill Warren, the Californian treasure hunter who claimed he was searching for Osama Bin Laden's dead body back in June 2011. He didn't find him then, but now he claims he has located the cadaver.
Talking to Spanish newspaper El Mundo, Warren says he has no doubt about where Osama is:
I've located where they threw him away. I'm the only one with this information. He's 200 miles to the west of the Indian city of Surat.
Warren—who claims he has discovered more than 200 shipwrecks during his career as a treasure-hunter—says that bin Laden's body is still at that same location, deep under water. His thought is that, since the Navy weighted down the bag, the body hasn't moved from where it was dropped. He is now trying to rent Russian deep diving equipment to locate his payload, and to conduct DNA tests once he finds him.
At least, that's what he believes. He says he pinpointed the drop point from photos recently released by the US Navy.
Warren is now in Azerbaijan, apparently working for their government in a contract to locate some old ships. But he is ready to start the diving for Osama's body bag: he says he's aiming at starting the mission on June 1, and that he may be able to find the body in "under a week." He also claims that the search would last a maximum of three months. He declares that his only fear is that the US Government would kill him or sink his boat.
Warren is now searching for $200,000 to finance the whole operation (Bill, I suggest Kickstarter). He wouldn't have needed that money had he located the Trinidad, the famous Spanish ship loaded with Aztec gold that sunk in the coast of California in 1540. Warren has repeatedly tried to locate that treasure, once in 1976 and then again in 1987. Back then he claimed he had located the Trinidad, but obviously he didn't.

DEVGRU Commander: "Wow! Nice bunch of Ferrari's your team has out there, Command Chief. By the way...any idea where that nav chart in the UBL AAR with the 'red X' on it went?"
And so it goes...

I've seen Discovery/NatGeo
I've seen the Discovery/NatGeo shows about the Ocean floor. Lots of hungry little critters down there.
Body Bag and lots of chain? Maybe.
Something edible? Nope.

Here in Southern California, the first critters to get to a body in the ocean are eels, they crawl up the anus , eating everything inside. Crabs and other scavengers clean off the bones.

I'm betting 5 bucks that when the DNA tests are complete we find that he's the father of the Octo-moms children.

Bin Laden or the treasure hunter?
