Boston responds to the death of Osama bin Laden

During my flight home last night from Atlanta to Boston the captain came over the intercom mid flight saying he had some important breaking news he wanted to share with us. Everyone gasped thinking the worst but as he spoke the passengers quickly eased up and rejoiced when they heard the news that Osama bin Laden had been killed. Today in Boston there was a special ceremony i covered at the site of the 9/11 memorial in the Boston Public Garden where city & state officials along with family members of those who lost their lives all came together to lay roses in memory of those from Massachusetts who were killed in the attacks.
