A chaotic funeral

I'm watching cable news right now as they're showing the funeral of Yasser Arafat and it's certainly not a very dignified one starting from when the helicopters carrying the coffin got swarmed but throngs of Palestinians wanting to pay their last respects tho their leader. The news anchor are saying keeps saying Arafat would've love the attention because as they say he is "people man." But funerals should be solemn and dignified. At one point they showed that coffin almost falling because of the sea of people wanting to touch it and the Palestinian flag nowhere to be found atop. I was afraid it would burst open and then the body would fall or something like that..ahh the horrors! Not only would be reallbe undignified way to be buried but..really silly. but fortunaely nothing like that happened.

One thing I learned.. people didn't mind the guns as long as they can touch and be near coffin of their leader.

Such chaos for funeral march and burial.
