Thousands crowded the National Mall and gathered all over D.C. and Northern Virginia to watch the World War II flyover earlier today. C-SPAN took video of the 45-minute event, including narration from the official program at the World War II Memorial, which you can watch here. One aircraft made an emergency landing at nearby Reagan National Airport, but reports say that no one was hurt.
