Observation from Afar

The outer perimeter extended from the university to the edge of a residential neighborhood on the other side of the street. Numerous onlookers gathered across the street at a point which had  the best view of the crash site. Many news photos, as well as many of the photos on this site were taken from this point. News reporters were illegally denied access to the area around the crash site.
