Who went?

Just got back, good time, went to the sox game, friend go in an argument with miguel tejada.  But after the fireworks it was like a zombie/disese holocaust scene.  Trash everywhere, national guard, spotlights, Heli's, People freaking out, road baracades.

i got myself out of there asap after the sox game. Ungodly hot that day. Luckily it wasnt a busy game for me so i could mostly hang out in the shade, but i felt bad for the medical people and people that needed medical attention. Wasn't uncommon to have to wait 20 minutes for med personnel, and that is an extremely long time when you're sick

http://www.necn.com/07/02/10/800000-expected-for-Boston-Pops-firework/landing.html?blockID=265271&feedID=4215

800,000 expected.

OH YEAH GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. I'M NOT IGNORANT MORON, WHEN I SEE A NUMBER FIGURE FAR TO HIGH I KNOW.

http://www.csmonitor.com/Commentary/Editorial-Board-Blog/2010/0706/Boston-Pops-and-the-Justice-Department-suit-against-the-Arizona-immigration-law

READ THE FIRST LINE.

Nearly a million people lined up along the Charles River on Sunday to hear the Boston Pops’s Fourth of July concert and to ooh and aah at the fireworks “spectacular”

NEARLY A MILLION= 800,000-950,000

NOT 1.2 MILLION.

950,000 IS NOT THAT FAR OFF FROM 1.2 MILLION, YOU CLAIMED 1.2 MILLION WAS "double Bostons population" BOSTONS POPULATION IS 4.5 MILLION...

caps lock sucks

this is a stupid argument, boston has like 650,000 - 700,000 people, I don't think Massachusetts alone has 4.5 milli

The announcer douche said 1.2 million, he was wrong, I quoted wrong, end of thread, I'm tired of a bunch of 5 year old getting pissy over stupid missinformation

Oh and ski.the.east,

Boston, thats right Boston's population is 600,000. The Greater Boston Population is 4.5 Million which is Boston, Cambridge, Quincy, Revere, all those areas. However, the event was held in Boston where 600,000 people reside. You figure that maybe 2/3 of them attended so that would be 450,000 then maybe 1/2 of Cambridge residents attended so now we're at 500,000. Then you factor in Quincy and maybe get an additional 30,000. Boston is a tourist city so maybe 300,000 tourists and out of stater's showing up specifically for the reason attended.
