I was there and it was fantastic! Since I was actually there I did not have access to a television to watch any live coverage that might have been broadcast. There were three news helicopters over the scene for at least an hour each - are there any links out there to aerial coverage of this event?
One sad thing is that so many people who wanted to attend underestimated the size of this crowd that I’ll bet hundreds of people (at least that many) were not able to attend. The line of cars from Searchlight was moving so slow it took me an hour to get to the event. The event was halfway over and there was still a backup of two miles in each direction.
If you see the pic of the lady holding the Statue of Liberty you will see me in the background. I didn't see it until I was reading the article.
Where did you go after the event?
I've never seen one photo from a helo, and I've been looking.
How can that be? The moron on Fox kept referring to "I-95." Uh, I-95 is in New Jersey. US-95 runs through Searchlight. I've been there.
