(40,210 posts)Seriously, there should have been someone appointed to the job of making sure this didn't happen. A person who had the task of making sure each one of those seats had a person in it.

(406 posts)"That footage was taken an hour before the parade even started" and the like. Literally lol'ing at that logic.
