Disneyworld and the Death of Osama bin Laden

 

Osama bin Laden was one of dozens of siblings. He is shown here circled on the right at age 15 on a family vacation in Europe.

IF Ever There was a Guy Who Just Needed Killing…

We were at Disneyworld, the Happiest Place on Earth. It had been a grueling day of unfettered fun and frivolity. We took one last trek around Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and settled in for the Electric Light Parade. We were tired, but it was a good sort of tired.

The Main Street Electrical Parade is an opportunity for exhausted families to rest their tired feet a bit before heading out into the Magic Kingdom to start all over again.   

The ropes already defined the parade route, and folks were jockeying for the prime seats on walls, bridges, and curbs. I squeezed my three-year-old daughter close and basked in the moment.

The unexpected news energized the throngs at Disney.    

An odd wave suddenly swept through the crowd. Imagine the sound of twenty thousand people whispering in hushed tones and you get the gist. The total stranger sitting next to me turned his phone in my direction and said, “Get a load of this.” At that moment some guy jumped the rope and began running the length of the parade route shouting, “We got him! We got him! We killed Bin Laden!”
