Andrea Mitchell just can't bring herself to use appropriate adjectives to describe this scene. "Remarkable" she says, instead of "chaotic". She does explain this is a Holy Day, the body must be in the ground before sunset, less than 1 hour away. She seems to think the crowd is thinning out because these very religious people must be in their homes before the sun goes down. There's no women in the crowd, she pointed out.
Did anyone else notice the hooded guy helping the uniformed soldiers get the coffin off the truck? He looked just like the terrorists who've been seen on video beheading hostages.
Imus wondered if the body would fall out of the coffin.
