OMG we're going to die: Liquor's Last Call on the Tube (:14)

The night of May 31, 2008 London folk had one last party on the Tube before consumption of alcohol on their underground trains was banned.

The first 0:14 clip shows a clearly uncomfortable couple who seem to have no idea what's going on sporting what I call, the "OMG we're going to die" facial expression in the thumbnail.

I created a YT playlist to include a second clip with additional highlights from the party. (Unfortunately it's dead now.) Second clip was also mildly nsfw because of the Boris chant.

Some of the best professional photos are on CNN\Europe's article: http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/06/01/london.subway/?imw=Y&iref=mpstoryemail

“I think what we had there was the kind of exuberant, Celtic-style wake for the passing, the long overdue passing, of a custom,” Mr Johnson said of the Circle Line booze-up.

He said that while most people “got into the spirit of things” and were merry but well-behaved, the party was ruined by a few. “Most people who saw the scenes of violence and disorder thought that that entirely vindicated our decision (to ban alcohol on public transport), he said.

Many trains got incredibly trashed, people report in those stories. Much anti-Boris chanting too.

Those two were remembering the good times... "Leave your body, Seymore, leave your body."

Thanks for the promote and the second note. First clip was the main reason I sifted this up - shame the second one's gone; description modified.
