There may another reason for for the chopper crash. Even the best quality NVGs have issues with depth perception. Landing in an enclosed compound, with partial cloud cover would create problems for pilots using NVGs. Some of the stories that are floating around state that the pilot may have hit either a wall or one of the compound's building with a rotor which would have caused the crash.
But no one was reported hurt in the crash, OBL was killed, lots of intell was gathered and everyone made it home safe.
In my book, a successful operation!
