I was screwing around and remembered an image I saw of Osama bin Laden’s underground lair (artist rendition). Eight stories of fiction. (First image)

The reality was a three story, 3-4000 sq-ft house. (Second)

Goldfinger it was not.

@feloneouscat Hm. Looks like there was a mountain hideout, but he wasn't in it. Were the reporters not really in Tora Bora?

There was no mountain hideout as drawn.

@mkagle

“When Tora Bora was eventually captured by the U.S. and Afghan troops, no traces of the supposed "fortress" were found despite painstaking searches in the surrounding areas. Tora Bora turned out to be a system of small natural caves housing, at most, 200 fighters”

What happens when you draw fiction.

@mkagle

Reality is frequently more disappointing than fiction.

@feloneouscat Ah. Amazing what we convinced ourselves of.
