I was watching a talking head at the square. it was about 6PM their time and just getting dark. It looked like the evening prayers were just ending as most folk were on their knees. The crowd was much bigger than yesterday. The talking head was noting they were expecting another government announcement. The talking head was a few blocks off the square in mid sentence when a giant roar arose followed by wild horn honking. The talking head was drowned out by the roar. They had no idea what was happening for a few minutes as the celebration got even louder...
The Egyptian VP had announced Mubarak had stepped down..
Still wild celebration 45 minutes later...
