strange - the torch bearer ran right into a warehouse, and not on to the Embarcadero

speculation is torch is going on a boat, and avoiding the streets

crowd might get frustrated - some have been there since 3:00 am - people have come from as far away as LA and China for this

protestors are blocking route (Embarcadero)

CNN- torch is likely on a ferry

British PM has decided not to attend opening of games

police can't clear the street

a bus has been vandalized

pro-Beijing people very organized - chanting "Dalai Liar" - blaming media for "not telling truth about China"

torch may be on a bus now -"where is the torch"?

relay route has changed - Van Ness and Sutter - an "army" of police surrounding runner at this intersection -relay is delayed as they wait for all security to arrive - runner has started running N on Van Ness - will end at Justin Herman Plaza

"the statue of liberty play"

crowds are following the helicopters to see where the torch is going
