All this happened in the space of an hour? poop is going down fast. The Revolution truly is being televised. Speaking of televised, protesters have just stormed Egyptian state TV HQs.

I'm in the UK, so not too sure if I have that. Just had BBC News on though, it's unreal.
Gun fire in the background.
Edit: Yep, got CNN international. Thanks.

The biggest legal opposition party has called for a new constitution and an interim government.
It is also being reported that Mubarak has fled the country and may be on his way to Israel.
Also, the Egyptian Museum is being overrun and possibly on fire, which would be awful as records going back thousands and thousands of years would be lost.

In a scene I would have loved for there to be video of, a helicopter rescued those in the Israeli embassy.

I have to see what Hannity has to say at 3 and Savage at 6. Limbaugh was out today. Historic newsday to say the least.

This is bad because Egypt could become a terrorist state.

I truly believe this was fascinating.
The Muslim protesters all stopped protesting to pray and during the prayer the Christian protesters protected the Muslim protesters from any violence.

I have it running alongside CNN right now and it's funny how CNN isn't even saying that the President is possibly stepping down, while Press TV is.

It is being reported that the President is already on his way to Switzerland.
10 luxury Sedans went to the airport while heavily guarded and those in the Sedans got onto 3 different planes and they took off right away.
According to reports in the planes were the richest people in Egypt along with the President.
