    THAT'S A WRAP

    By The Associated Press | Associated Press – Fri, Jul 27, 2012

    They have spent casings from the spectacular fireworks display crunching under their feet and "Hey Jude" humming on their lips.

    Everyone will sleep well after a night they'll never forget.

    The Orbit observation deck still glows red. This is just the beginning, after all.
