LIVE from D.C. - WOW!

I haven't seen any news reports or aerial footage, but I can tell you that the National Mall is basically bursting here in Washington, D.C.

This is incredible. Just the sheer volume of people is breathtaking. Helicopters are roaring overhead and sirens wailing as motorcades and ambulances race through the streets around the Capitol. People are standing shoulder to shoulder trying to pass through security. Getting out of Metrorail stations has become a seemingly impossible task according to reports I've heard. Anyone not in a security line at this point probably will not make it into a ticketed area.

And it looks like the public viewing area at the Mall is full.
