With the news that Osama Bin Laden was killed by US forces just before midnight, university students, who were young children when Bin Laden perpetrated the attack that killed 3,000 on September 11, 2001, poured from dorms, first spilling out into the parking lots, then forming an impromptu parade that wound out of the lots and through towns across America.
A crowd estimated at about 4000 formed the celebration parade of pedestrians and vehicles with flag waving students, honking horns, shouting and singing, at App State in western North Carolina.
Bin Laden was found in a luxury compound in Abbottabad Pakistan and killed by a small, elite US force, a force that emerged unscathed from the battle that lead to Bin Laden's death. Celebrations mirrored those outside the White House and at Ground Zero in New York.
