The reaction to the news that Osama bin Laden had been killed was unlike one the country had seen for years. It was truly one of those “you’ll remember where you were moments” for most people, and the result was exaltation. At Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, the fans chanted USA USA! after hearing the news. Across college campuses in America, there was mass celebration. Radio and TV host Scott Van Pelt tweeted pictures of the atmosphere on several campuses, and here are the best images:

Ohio State, Penn State, West Point, Missouri, Mass St

LSU, Boston College, Delaware, Maryland, EWU

Here are some videos as well.
