Many Iraqis were afraid to vote, and a Danish TV-crew was waiting by a polling station that had been open for hours. Nobody came to vote, and the crew was beginning to give up, when in the distance they saw the dust of 4,000 people coming, on foot since they weren't allowed to drive. They had come to vote, stayed together as a group figuring there's safety in numbers and they almost stormed that polling station.
