Three minutes of silence

On BBC news this morning, they showed live footage across Europe of people commemorating the 150,000+ victims of the tsunami. In Stockholm and Brussels, they showed thousands of people who stood still and waited quietly for three minutes. It was impressive. An old man in the crowd wiped his eyes and another younger man was taking pictures with his camera phone. Can you see Americans staying quiet and still for three whole minutes? Where can you even find thousands of people standing in one place unless it’s a football game?
