Storyline

When the rumored whereabouts of Osama bin Laden is revealed, the CIA readies a team of seasoned U.S. Navy SEALs for the mission of a lifetime. Despite inconclusive evidence that bin Laden is inside the compound, and ignoring the possible ramifications of an unannounced attack on Pakistani soil, the Pentagon orders the attack. The SEAL Team bands together to complete their mission of justice in a riveting final showdown.

Trivia

The soft crash of the helicopter in the bin Laden compound was caused by what is called a vortex ring state. This happens when the air from the downwash of the propeller blades swirls up and cycles back down through the blades. In essence, the helicopter is descending through a downrush of air that cycles up back through the blades, which raises the pressure of the air passing over the top of the blades, thereby reducing lift. This was partly caused by the enclosing walls of the landing area that caused the air to hit the ground, be pushed towards the walls, then directed up the walls and sucked back into the blades. As the helicopter dropped, the tail hit the top of a wall and it began to roll, at which time the pilot put the nose down so that the helicopter would not roll over onto its side. It came to rest with the nose down at a 45º angle. The occupants sustained no serious injuries.

Goofs

The movie depicts that the tail rotor on the helicopter broke off on the impact of the crash in the compound. During the actual event the tail rotor broke when the Seals detonated the helicopter after they cleared the target.

Garbage of the worst sort

Watched the DVD film Seal Team 6 last night. It might as well be called the Barack obama show , it was a worthless waste of time and money. Most of the film is an edification to the imaginary heroism of the dubious leader. There goes a couple hours out of my life that would have been better used. The film itself (the acting part) is extremely brief and interspersed with news clips, interviews. On of the leading "actresses"the loathsome Kathleen Robertson, is portraying a certain CIA analyst named Vivian Hollins a most smug and repugnant figure to say the least. It has been a long time since I have actually regretted purchasing a DVD, this is a notable exception. My advice: Don't waste wither your time or your money.This was my most disappointing film of the year. Do yourself a favour and invest in something else
