Bin Laden had sleep apnea?

Post by newyorknative » Mon May 02, 2011 6:18 am

I just saw the footage of Bin Laden's bedroom and noticed a cpap hose on the floor. Interesting!

Oh my goodness.
I thought this was a sick joke - but then I saw a video of Bin Laden's room on a news site.

If the blood stains don't give you nightmares, take a look at the video on http://www.abcnews.com.
Or the slides http://abcnews.go.com/International/sli ... e-13508190
- bottom right quarter of the image.

You can't help but wonder what that hose -- and box you see on the video 1:02 mins in -- are about!

Good observation.

That certainly resembles a CPAP hose on the floor at the foot of the bed.

I had a lot of misgivings about that copy of Encore Viewer I mailed to osamaed ( viewtopic/t63624/memberlist.php?mode=vi ... le&u=28642 ) at 4499 Gammi Road, Abottabad, Pakistan.

His PMs were all very nice and he always signed them "Ed".

How could I have known?

Is that an old cpap or a vacuum cleaner?

Could it be a hookah?

Seen that way, carbonman - I vote for vacuum cleaner.

This seems to be something of importance. Any idea what it is?

They probably used it to divide the hashish.

While I can see a resemblance to a vacuum cleaner, does it really look like one was ever used in that room?

A scale was my first thought too.

After watching the video, it sure looks like a CPAP hose to me, never seen a machine that looks like that, could be a foriegn model.

I was just thinking the same thing when I saw the photos on Drudge. I knew the dirtbag had bad kidneys requiring dialysis but did not know he had sleep apnea. I also hear he had a severe case of lead poisoning the last few seconds of his life courtesy of Navy seal team six.
