You can see the civilians standing on cars, climbing street poles, and lining the roofs of buildings before the memorial service. The large crowd remained uneasy though. A video showed the sea of supporters barreling over the barriers along the street. The fans even pushed a news reporter out of the way in the midst of the chaos.
