Who else is watching Al Jazeera English right now?

[Turborama]

It'd be interesting to get a feel of how many other DUers are watching the same historical events on the same channel at the same time.

[Mojorabbit]

28. I am

the damage at the museum is hearbreaking.

[Raksha]

30. K & R - I've been watching the live feed,

and it's one of the few things that has given me hope in a long time. All things considered, the Egyptian people have been incredibly rational and seem to sincerely want a democracy, NOT an Islamic republic. I was especially impressed watching them organize into spontaneous Neighborhood Watch groups to protect their neighborhoods, since the army is only securing the main streets and public squares.

[Catherina]

31. Just got home and it's the first thing I went to. Watching now n/t

[RainDog]

32. I've been watching since I've been home this evening. n/t

34. I am and have for several days now.

I will be watching all weekend.

1:30am Tourists have been warned by many governments to stay away from Egypt, but travelers are not yet being evacuated. Meanwhile, protesters continue to defy the overnight curfew in several Egyptian cities.

1:22am Ayman Mohyeldin tweets: "shift of mood from celebratory 2 tense as night fell & absence of security on streets created problem 4 law & order".

36. I have been. On my PC. Off and on.

[Turborama]

37. Kick, to see who else is watching...

:kick:

[Turborama]

38. It's on! They must have had a Plan B "just in case".

[Iterate]

39. Constantly,

and, of course, with twitter, blog windows, background searches, and DU. If there's a demo at the embassy, I'll be there. Failing that, I may set out walking to Egypt. It should only take a month.

[Dennis Donovan]

40. I'm streaming AJE and have CNN on TV...

...although I think I'm going to turn CNN off - their anchors just characterized the scene in El Tahrir Square to a "music festival.":banghead:

[Turborama]

41. Anyone else watching it now on this truly historic day?

:hi:

[Le Taz Hot]

42. AJ English has been on for 4 days

in my house now. And I thought Watergate was riveting.
