Description:

- Schabowski (a member of the ruling party of the GDR) made a vague, mistaken announcement about lifting travel restrictions through the Berlin Wall "effective immediately"
- people flooded to the wall expectantly
- border guards completely overwhelmed, and could do nothing but stand by and watch
