Osama Bin Laden's brother, Khalil bin Laden, bought this 1920s mansion a few miles from Disney World in 1980. Shortly after 9/11 his family caught a private jet out of the country and the property has gone through a few owners (and a number of vandals) since then, and was recently torn down. Full album and story found at http://www.abandonedfl.com/bin-laden-mansion/

That is one hell of a post title. Well done.

Everything about the Bin Ladens is crazy...like on 9/11 they shut down all air traffic except for people who were able to get special permission...Osama Bin Laden's siblings and their families all got special permission to jet back to Saudi Arabia.

Now I'm curious how many other people also got special permission.

Edit: and who... and WHY
