Something big just happened in Egypt right now. Something very big. (Pt 2) [View all]

100s of Thousands of Tahrir Protesters are back (the last estimate I saw in a news article was 200,000+), President Morsi has fled the Palace, the Central Security Forces abandoned their posts and many removed their uniforms and joined the people to protest.

It's 3am there now but a vigilant contingent has erected tents in Tahrir and in front of the palace again.

PS, Dear God, please don't let this turn into another one of those 2 week running, 1001 part threads. Please.
