Olympic Torch Updates: Bus Running Over People, Protests, Boycotting, and More

Earlier

  • Also, still no sign of torch. SFPD motorcycles are seen zipping up Third and Second Streets.
  • "No reports of serious violence," declares Barbara Rodgers of CBS 5.
  • Eerie sensation of local on-air talent far too close to SFist HQ right now. There is a presence in this neighborhood.
  • British PM Gordon Brown boycotts opening ceremonies; Bush still debating similar boycott.
  • Barbara Rogers calls bullshit on current torch run path on King Street. Wonders if it might be happening somewhere else. That would be awesome.
  • Visible torch flame seen at McCovey Cove!
  • According to CBS Blogs' Brittney Gilbert "torch will NOT going to pier 39, Fisherman's wharf. [The torch] will end at Sansome and Embarc. EVERYONE go Ferry and South."
  • An SFist source at Embarcadero and Bryant just wrote to us claiming that the "torch bus [allegedly!] ran over people. No injuries per SFPD. Tibetans sitting in front of bus now."
  • Motorcade stopped at Bush/Van Ness. First runner might "hit the street there." Will everyone miss it, save for Gavin's friends and associates? How sad. But kind of funny too.
  • Much like today's relay, SFist has been a bit chaotic with updates, so we've moved our updates here.

Bus video here, apparently. At least a lot of people milling around in front of a bus, anyway.

 

KGO is saying rumors that they might want to put the torch on the water.

One of my earlier prediction posts might be right.

 

Nope, looks like they are boarding an amphibious vehicle.

 

What? VAN NESS?

 

Sal Castenada is rocking my world right now. Kudos to him and his snazzy glasses.
