What's your estimate on the crowds? And are they still coming?
I'm bad at estimates; 500K? But this crowd was one of the largest I've seen; larger than some of the Inaugerations I've seen. Huge crowds up and down the street and 20 deep in most parts. I walked towards the Capital along with the casket as fast as the crowd would let me, but soon lost view of it; then saw the flyover, which boomed through the little valley of buildings that line Constitution Ave. Finely getting to the Pond near the Capital, I watched as more and more folks kept getting in line for the viewing. They had to keep extending the multiple entry points for the viewing line. They really underestimated the number of folks who would want to view. Humid evening, but awefully beautiful.
