I was overseas when it happened. It was all on TV.
It was said that when they asked for volunteers for the firing squad they had to turn more than half of them down. Way too many takers.

I was there at the time. I was a civilian and had an AKM 47 on my shoulder and two 30 round magazines issued by the anti-communist Militia. They posted me on watch at the road entry in the Constanta harbor as there were rumors that Ceausescu was attempting to flee the country by air or by sea.
