Endeavour traverses Friday on Manchester

On Friday afternoon, crowds were swelling along the sidewalks as Endeavour moved down Manchester toward the 405 where the transporter would stop in front of Randy's Donuts for several hours to switch from the self-propelled wheel dollies to special undercarriages for Toyota's promotional event using a 2012 Tundra pickup truck to tow the 149,000-pound shuttle across the freeway overpass.
