I am sceptic of this burial at sea business. It’s 711 miles to the sea with double the occupants as one copter was down. The most important priority was to get back to base safely. So, we was the base? Unless it was an aircraft carrier, I am sceptical.

—Plus, Reuters and NYT (via Jpost) reported that OBL’s body was taken to Afghanistan first, and then buried at sea- which would’ve made the total trip close to 1,000 miles I believe.
