Today's local paper is reporting at about 16,000 people had been to the viewing. Just looking at the crowds and incoming traffic as of 10:30 last night, it appears that there are way more people than the original estimates.
Sorry I wasn't able to find you! Glad you got in to see him. By the time, I got there - we were looking at a 6 hour wait - not something I had planned for at all - no water, inappropriate dress for an extended evening stay, etc. We are going to go back to pay our respects after he is buried at the library.
16k? LOL, no way.
I just heard on Fox, its 3hours to get off the 118 and 5-7 once in line. (16k? what a joke.)
I don't think anyone anticipated the numbers and the waiting time. We should organize something after the burial.
FOX reporting this morning that they have estimated about 40,000 so far, and now the hours have been extended to 10 pm .. JUST TO ACCOMMODATE THE PEOPLE.
And the dems are having a nervous breakdown! As I told someone else .. the dems thought they had denigrated Reagan to the point that no one in America like him .. and here America came to pay their respects in numbers way beyond all expectations. Looks like Reagan got the last laugh after all.
