Obama inauguration 2009 3rd Street Tunnel in Washington DC purple ticket line as motorcade speeds through a crowd of people. Very dangerous. We waited in line for 5 hours to find out the gate was closed, perhaps long before we made it out of the tunnel. Thousands of purple ticket holders and line cutters disenfranchised. We didn't get in to the purple section or see the inauguration. We were very disappointed. Did I mention that there was no security or event personnel down in the tunnel?
bravo!

I am in southern Maryland and I wanted to go to this...but down here everything is so far from everything that you have to drive to places, but of course we could not drive there, and my dad worried we would get lost on metro. Plus I am unable to drive because they mandate driver's ed, which I can't afford because I can't find a job even though I have a BS in communications. So for now I just have to ride places with my father.

that cannot be too healthy for you to be in the tunnel with all those fumes!

If you are a tourist and you came here from out of town and you were denied entry you have my sympathy.

It was so scary in these crowds. We are all VERY lucky there was not a terrible disaster: bomb, guns, knives, high-speed vehicle driving through, stampede, or a riot... It was only due to the civility of the crowds that disaster was averted. Nice finishing touch, George Bush!

Such poor planning. Everyone should email Senator Feinstein. We never got in after 6 hours of waiting!
