Bin Laden's Assassin: The Navy SEAL Who Killed The World’s Most Wanted Man | Rob O'Neill (E340)

We're going after Osama bin Laden tonight for the first Americans to fight Al Qaeda to the death, and those were the passengers on United Flight 93 on 911. Pakistan police might show up, the Pakistan military might show up. We'll either shoot it out with them or die in a Pakistani prison. You know, it's a very high probability this is this is the last mission we go on. And when we went through the curtain at the top of the stairs he moved it. And because he went sort of left, I had to go right based on our tactics, and because I did that, uh standing in front of me three feet away was Osama Bin Laden. That is the voice of former SEAL Team Six operator Rob O'Neill, the man who pulled the trigger to kill Osama bin Laden after a desperate manhunt. That lasted. A decade.

Damien, I don't think we've ever had a conversation like this on high performance. Absolutely, Jake. Yeah, I mean Rob shares with us a really vivid description of the moment when he realised who His infamous target was, you know, the dynamics of that ever changing mission and There's a really heartbreaking bit where He kisses his kids goodbye.

Rather than good night. He thought this was the mission. That would kill him. He talks about how one of the helicopters crashed on the way to Osama bin Laden's stronghold, how the whole mission nearly failed, the moment that he took the shot, and then that realization that that his life had changed forever and he is fascinating.
