Pandemonium

It's unclear exactly what's happening in this video, which was purportedly shot yesterday and uploaded to YouTube today, but the progression of the footage well illustrates the chaotic conditions in Tehran. There is a large crowd of protesters standing near what looks to be a car that has been set on fire. You can see people throwing rocks towards the flames, then there are a few shots in the background, and everyone (including the cameraman) starts running. After a few minutes of fleeing that location, they run into a group of riot police on their motorcycles and start throwing rocks again. A helicopter can be heard overhead. The last scene looks like it might be the same one documented in this video, which we blogged about earlier, but shot from the perspective of someone actually in the crowd.
