YouTube Video of the Day: Crowds Celebrate at Ground Zero

After Sunday night's announcement that Osama Bin Laden had been killed, crowds flooded Ground Zero in New York City to celebrate the al-Qaeda founder's demise. As you can see in the above embed, the event was widely captured on video.

In fact, videos of celebrations across the country have been cropping up on YouTube all day, and video searches, which included the words "osama bin laden dead," were burgeoning on YouTube last night. Other big searches were for songs like Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue," "God Bless America," and Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A."

What do you think of the celebrations? Let us know in the comments.
