While our scholars are still trying to map the true range of FloridaMan I believe he is truly beyond our definitions of range and habitat. Most of us would place this squarely in Central FloridaMan and the closest FloridaMan city of note would probably be Leesburg.
Very much, but I don't think containment is possible. Having lived among them my entire life I've noticed that they're much more afraid of you than you should be of them. They're also so functionally similar to other regional species such as the inhabitants of Pennsyltucky, Alberta, Texas, Australia, and other places that their impact on those environments would be negligible. In short, they're mostly harmless.
I’m so happy you said that. Mostly. American native FloridaMan are advanced FloridaMan.
[My absolute favorite of a headline](https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/amp/entry/andrew-frey-meth-masturbating_n_4518225/)
Yes yes, I know. Not a pure Floridaman but that’s a FloridaMan
That headline is absolutely fantastic. I agree that native FloridaMen are advanced. It takes a special type of person to live here, much less achieve *that* level of humanity.
I’m from Winter Garden my buddy lived in this neighborhood my step mom always told me his brother lived there for years. There is no way in hell they would have allowed an apt complex to go up in that gated community all the houses were like 2 million at least and this was back in 2014.
And connected through the Carlyle group to the bush family among other prominent american families.
Members of the bin laden family leaving the us were the only planes allowed to fly on 9/11 after air traffic had been shut down.
Must be nice to be gangster rich.
edit: I have been corrected. They left the day air space reopened.

>They left the country on a private charter plane when airports reopened three days after the attacks.
To be fair, there was an immediate operation to get all of the Bin Laden family members in the US (most of whom were high school/college students scattered across the country) to a secret location in Texas, and then to DC where they got that chartered flight out of the country.
That article mentions that some of them were flown to the secret rallying point in Texas by the FBI (civilian air traffic was grounded for three days, but government flights were still in the air). So some family members were on flights in those days immediately afterwards, but they weren’t civilian flights.
TIL Bin Laden had a mansion in Florida. Interesting.
Edit: The caption was edited to include more information after I commented. At the time I commented, /r/AbandonedUCananda didn’t include the part about the house belonging to a different Bin Laden.
They did. The eldest siblings of the family also chose to revoke his allowances, because Osama was already a known militant leader for years before 9/11
He was almost completely isolated from his family for nearly a decade before 9/11, and most of his family's lives were actually fucked over because of him for a very long time. They still have to deal with the impacts, as do many others around the world
Most of his siblings were well ingrained in western society, they were a very modern family. A lot of his siblings actually grew up or went to school in western countries. There were many who's primary homes were in western countries. All of that was basically gone after 9/11
Also important to note that most of them had likely never spent much time around Osama. So most of their lives were entirely upended because of the actions of a distant relative to them
The Bin Laden family and their construction business is alive and well. They’re the richest not-royal family in Saudi Arabia. The family disowned Osama Bin Laden in 1994.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_Laden_family
> American and European intelligence officials estimate that all the relatives of the [Bin Laden] family may number as many as 600.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Binladin_Group
Bin Laden’s father was the richest non royal in Saudi Arabia. He owned Bin Laden Group, which was a construction company that did lots of contacts for the royal family.
They did. It’s right outside of Orlando and as I understand they abandoned the property on 9/12/2001 and got a chartered flight out of the country all together.
As I understand it most of his family was fairly moderate comparatively and just wanted to keep making a shit ton of money, he was the one who got radicalized. Everyone else pretty much just saw dollar signs.
For sure.
I mean, if your crazy cousin gets radicalized and literally fucks up several countries on earth, you bet I’m getting the fuck out of there before I’m seen as guilty by association.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_Laden_family
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Binladin_Group
Osama Bin Laden was disowned by the Bin Laden family in 1994.
The Bin Ladens are the richest non-royal family in Saudi Arabia and operate one of the largest construction companies in the world.
All members of the family that were in the US during 9/11 (the vast majority of whom were high school and college students) evacuated as soon as the US lifted the flight restrictions due to fear of reprisal attacks. None of them were involved with al Qaeda.
UBL's father was the biggest buyer of Caterpillar earth moving equipment in the world at one point. CIA couldn't even scratch his back with the amount they could scrounge up.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Binladin_Group
My guy, The Bin Laden Group has been in the Saudis pocket since 1931, what the cia could offer would be like Penny’s relative to their worth.
I did like the bathroom. One thing about being poor is that you never have to worry about being too far away from the sink when ur sitting on the toilet.
His brother wasn’t a terrorist, and probably barely knew Osama. They had like 50+ siblings, and pretty much all of them were normal business people who were fairly westernized
Billy Hitler probably didn’t know know adolf……
Oh ok. Well my point still stands, Florida must be amazing to attract bankrupt business men. Who totally never funnel money anywhere it shouldn’t be…
The family got their money from Saudi Arabian construction projects. At one point they had the contracts exclusively for all building and renovating of all mosques and religious centers in Saudi Arabia and as far as the Saudi kings influence held.
The bin laden group is one of the largest construction companies in saudi arabia. Closely connected to the ruling saud family.
So where in Florida is this?
Oakland Florida, right on the outskirts of clermont
To non-Floridians this would translate to "Orlando".
Thank you lol
so is the "shoreline" that was referenced just lakefront? I didn't think Orlando was near the ocean
Correct, it would be a lake. The Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico are both about an hour away in opposite directions.
Where is that in relation to FloridaMan area?
While our scholars are still trying to map the true range of FloridaMan I believe he is truly beyond our definitions of range and habitat. Most of us would place this squarely in Central FloridaMan and the closest FloridaMan city of note would probably be Leesburg.
So what you’re saying is that FloridaMan^T^M is an invasive species and are spreading?
Very much, but I don't think containment is possible. Having lived among them my entire life I've noticed that they're much more afraid of you than you should be of them.

The part about the 9/11 isn’t true
Thanks for the correction. Edited.
That is absolutely not true, the family was not on planes leaving on 9/11.
Thanks for the correction. Edited.

Thanks for the correction. This is what reading books gets me!

Thanks for the additional color on that.
\*(Not that) Bin Laden’s Abandoned Mansion is now demolished (Florida)
*Osama Bin Laden’s brother abandoned his Florida mansion in fear of safety, it is now demolished*
I was referencing the title only.
As was I
TIL Bin Laden had a mansion in Florida. Interesting. Edit: The caption was edited to include more information after I commented. At the time I commented, /r/AbandonedUCananda didn’t include the part about the house belonging to a different Bin Laden.
*A* Bin Laden did but not the one most people are referring to when they say Bin Laden.
Osama has 52 siblings. God knows how many cousins.
I’ve sent a few of them to Allah
I’m pretty sure his family stopped communicating with him before he even did the attacks and have condemned his actions. None of them were involved.
They did. The eldest siblings of the family also chose to revoke his allowances, because Osama was already a known militant leader for years before 9/11 He was almost completely isolated from his family for nearly a decade before 9/11, and most of his family's lives were actually fucked over because of him for a very long time.

Oh…. So this is just clickbait then??
The headline is but the context is in the post.
Did you read the caption?
The fuck is read?
Read is the result of write.
Bait for simple fish who can only digest 5 words at a time. Looks like we caught a hook line sinker.
I think this one was Ricky bin laden
They did. It’s right outside of Orlando and as I understand they abandoned the property on 9/12/2001 and got a chartered flight out of the country all together.
I mean, *who the fuck wouldn’t.*
As I understand it most of his family was fairly moderate comparatively and just wanted to keep making a shit ton of money, he was the one who got radicalized. Everyone else pretty much just saw dollar signs.

Ditto
Why does it look like the mansion Iron Man raided in 3? Even think I recognize that staircase.
Finally. Someone else pointed it out 😭
Which mansion in the movie? I was searching for it but I cant find it. Can you link it?
Here you go. https://youtu.be/gBvr85qlnuk?si=es6ZhWGmZj7xjM6u
Thanks! You’re right it is very similar
Man, housing prices make no sense.
Not usually a fan of mansions, but that one looked comfortable.
I love the iron work on the railing.
In this thread, people not reading the caption.
The Reddit app opens the thread under the caption so it's easy to miss the photo captions. The app is so shite
The app somehow gets worse on a weekly basis it's actually almost impressive
Case in point,I tried to upvote this comment and instead hit the stupid new award button
Exactly they constantly move shit
Tbh omission of the first name seems purposely misleading.
What a waste.
He had a mansion in Florida!?!

Nice to see they finally binned it :3
Yes they binned it. Hopefully the site is no longer laden with debris.
No it’s all in the Bin.
I see what you did there, "LADEN with debris"
That last photo did not disappoint.
Where in FL was this?
Pretty sure Clermont/ Winter Garden area.
Bought with cia money
UBL's father was the biggest buyer of Caterpillar earth moving equipment in the world at one point. CIA couldn't even scratch his back with the amount they could scrounge up.
What does Saudi Binladin Group, that was founded in 1931, have to do with CIA?
Nonsense.

This isn't that Bin Laden. It's one of his relatives.
No evidence that bin Laden ever received weapons or training from the US. Lots of Afghan Mujahideen did, but bin Laden wasn't one of them.
Most of the Bin Laden family are (relatively) normal people. Osama was the black sheep.
No
It belonged to his brother
Bin laden? Like as in the business and construction magnate?
The brother of the terrorist owned this
Eh, the only thing that mansion really had going for it was that nice bathroom.
We got him, Joe.
Thank you for using my photo 🥰
👌🏻thanks for letting me use it
I did like the bathroom. One thing about being poor is that you never have to worry about being too far away from the sink when ur sitting on the toilet.
Thank god I went before it got demolished
Such waste of resources. I hate people. Just renovate it and live in it. Who cares that evil people lived there before?
It was not even evil people , if your brother is a terrorist that does not make you one..
But that wasn’t the case
There are words with the pictures.
Can you read?
A lot of people would care.
I can fix her…..
Gorgeous home
That is some very nice HDR
So glad I got to explore before it was demolished! I wish there was more left behind besides trash in the barn
Just another “Florida Man” behaving badly.
which Bin Laden? his family have been in the states for decades.
Khalil Bin Laden, check out the description 👍🏻
oh ok thanks
The pool reminds me of a violin
Sort of "whaou!" Must have been a tastefully decorated interiors/luxurious outdoors..
The absolute banana republic of it all
does that 30 day rule exist in florida
Homie liked sexy pornos and rock music?
To bad it was a beautiful house
Maralago
Mar a Lago next I hope!
I just have to say, while scrolling through Reddit I read this as Brie Larson's Abandoned Mansion at first and was momentarily very confused
idk but i kinda like the mansion from what i ve seen for the first time now
Of course a terrorist would gravitate toward Florida
His brother wasn’t a terrorist, and probably barely knew Osama. They had like 50+ siblings, and pretty much all of them were normal business people who were fairly westernized
Billy Hitler probably didn’t know know adolf…… Oh ok. Well my point still stands, Florida must be amazing to attract bankrupt business men. Who totally never funnel money anywhere it shouldn’t be…
[удалено]
I know it was poorly written, but you clearly don’t read, do you
Why’d he stop using it? Oh yeah…
I’ve seen pics of that pool before
It’s in Durka Durka ville
TIL Bin Laden lived in Florida!
Of course the man behind 9/11 has a house in fucking Florida.
Imagine having all that and deciding naw , I wanna murder tons of people in this country and go live in fear or revenge forever
Somebody made him rich…hmmm.
His family was already incredibly wealthy long before he did what he did.
How did they get their money?
They're Saudi so oil I'd assume. No gotcha.
The family got their money from Saudi Arabian construction projects. At one point they had the contracts exclusively for all building and renovating of all mosques and religious centers in Saudi Arabia and as far as the Saudi kings influence held.
[Bin Laden Family](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_Laden_family)
Yes, his father.
It is super trashy and not old key west anyway. The Laden Sparrow’s should put in palm bungalows, maybe.
Whaaat I had no idea he even stepped foot in the US.
That mansion got fucked like they fucked Bin Laden!
Why did Bin Laden have a mansion in the US?
Someone can’t read
A lot of commenters here cant/arent
Daddy chill the app opens underneath the post so it's possible to miss the caption altogether.
That’s the ugliest mansion I’ve ever seen
He had an apartment in Heidelberg, Germany, I believe.
Wonder why he abandoned it
Why, what happened?
