2 minutes silence

I have just watched on BBC America and observed the 2 minutes silence in memory of the victims of last weeks London bombings. It was quite amazing and moving to see all the camera shots from around Brtiain showing people observe the silence, especially people walking or in their cars who had seemingly just stopped in their tracks, such as at Liverpool Street station and Pacadilly Circus. A camera shot was shown from Edgware Road too of similar scenes, but their appeared to be some ignorant, arogant or just plain dumb people who weaved between people observing the silence. This is perticularly rude in London, not to mention at one of the bomb sites. At the very least they should have stopped in respect of the people around them, there are very very few things that would demand them to keep moving during this time and disturb those, who this 2 minutes silence meant something.
