Twitter had it first,....again

Appears that around 1AM Pakistani time, Sohaib Athar, an IT consultant, was awake doing not much of anything.  He heard something unusual for his remote town. "Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event)," wrote Athar. Moments later, he added: "A huge window shaking bang here... I hope its not the start of something nasty."  Little did he know what was happening.  So we have documented proof of the first reports of the downfall of Osama Bin Laden, by an IT consultant on his twitter.  He had it first, although he didnt know it at the time.  Isn't Technology great?
