I would warn everyone on the forums not to become your typical conspirator but also not to believe everything the media says. The more and more I researched, the more I found this to be suspicious. It could be true, but most likely the story you hear from the media isn't completey true.
I believe it is either a coverup for something small happening now or something to happen in the future. Here are some of the theories I have read about, I don't know too much about them in detail.
- US reaching debt problems/drop of silver prices/problems economically with China/Russia
- Mississippi River flooding
- Helping Obama re-elected
- Motivate general population into war, considering there is an attack on US
- Planets alligning on May 2nd may cause earthquake (seems stupid to me)
There were many more but I can't remember all of them.
The death of Osama is suspicious, he is shot in the head, tested for DNA-confirmed and put in the ocean because of Muslim traditions. All within 24 hours?
Edit: Just be sure to keep up with non Osama related news.
