Free Tibet Protesters Scale Golden Gate Bridge
Local news is going ga-ga this morning with the still-developing story of three alleged Students For a Free Tibet protesters who are scaling the west side of the Golden Gate Bridge to unfurl a banner and/or Tibetan flag to protest the controversial Olympic torch relay -- its only North American stop -- scheduled for tomorrow in San Francisco. Predictably, bridge traffic is said to be at a near standstill.
According to reports, the death-defying helmeted protesters are tethered together, one of them wielding a suitcase of some kind. ABC 7's live coverage confirms that the group has successfully opened a long banner reading "One World One Dream: Free Tibet 2008."
That'll show mean old China! Kidding. Seriously, be careful up there and enjoy the view.
