It was working and now has totally crashed, apparently. I'm thinking that the load has totally overwhelmed the servers.

No, initially I was able to see the church and a lady standing there but it never moved. Now I get a time-out. I was able to see comments and someone from SXM said that it's streaming for those in SXM.

I don't know whether they could limit it from only SXM ip's accessing it or not. Initially I did see the church and saw a brief section at the police station when the hearse arrived, but nothing since then.

Timing out here on the island as well. Possibly people who were in early, like I was, did not disconnect so they are still connected but I keep getting timed out & I am going through a SXM server.

I watched some of it this afternoon. Thank goodness, I didn't see most of the politician stuff. The singing and the local minister and the family stuff were wonderful..

We got to see some of it but it went out about 1 p.m. Looked like a beautiful service. I wonder of any of it was recorded and can be seen on the internet?

I don't know, that's a good question. One would think, since it was on live, or most of it was, apparently, there should be a recorded video of it somewhere.

Here is a link to a video I found of the procession on an SXM facebook page. Not sure but you may need Facebook to view it. Procession Link

I hope someone has captured more of the procession than what went down Front Street. The production company that streamed it live? If so, I cannot find anything. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> On YouTube there are still shots set to a James Taylor song. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NE0h8ZFzmuA

Because for all my relatives that passed (all French side), we did that procession from the church to the burial ground. What I saw of the procession yesterday was beautiful...and heartbreaking. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

There is an article about the funeral, with many pictures, in The Herald. http://www.thedailyherald.com/index.php?...s&Itemid=54If you read this article and are touched, please consider donating to the GoFundMe created in Officer Benji's name: http://www.gofundme.com/bh2frtbs
