Olympic Torch

They had to reroute the Olympic torch away from thousands of demonstrators and spectators who crowded the city of San Francisco's waterfront on Wednesday to witness the flame's symbolic journey to the Beijing games. They had to cancel the San Francisco Bat waterfront ceremony. They moved it to the Airport instead. This was because of massive crowds of both pro- and anti- Chinese protesters. It is too bad this had to happen. Officials had to drive the Olympic torch about a mile inland and handed it off to two runners away from the protesters and media.
