I've put together a Google Spreadsheet with a calculation of a minimum number of people who could have attended today.
Density Calculation Spreadsheet
This is based on analyzing what the camera that was looking down Pennsylvania Avenue saw throughout the event. Here's a snapshow when it's empty:
Here's an analysis of the width of that street using Google Earth:
Another update from Michelle Malkin has this post:
Here is a link to a schematic of the national mall used to esitmate crowd sizes. It was used in references to planning for BO’s inauguration.

As a veteran NASCAER fan and A person who attended today’s rally, I darn sure tell ya...there was not 110k on the capital today.
easily a million...and that is not a stretch.
I see a fork and knife icon. But no spork?

Looking at Malkin’s schematic and at that photo, the estimates of a million are absolutely on the mark.
Amazing. And wonderful.
Those aerial shots need to be posted everywhere and kept alive as a reminder. We are not alone.
I think we need to validate that that picture was really taken today. If you look at these pictures:

The weather conditions do not match at all.
Haven’t you been told that is a bad photo? It is from Promise Keepers in 1997.
A number of people have attributed that photo to a Primise Keepers rally in 1997.
“Looking at Malkin’s schematic and at that photo, the estimates of a million are absolutely on the mark.”
“Amazing. And wonderful.”
It was a thing of beauty!
Have you seen the time lapse video of the march on YouTube?

NBC Report Says Their People Estimate 9/12 Crowd in the “Hundreds of Thousands” - Video 9/12/09

I’m 44 and my 70 year old uncle kept telling me text this number. I told him hell I only watch the first couple weeks of American idol with the Wife and kids to laugh at the auditions,then I’m out. I could not text 9-11 if my life depended on it. My uncle ran down a young guy to ask him how do we do that, I laughed my arse off, and thanked God for my 70 year old uncle that fired up to fight the libtards on the Hill. Maybe I should learn to text my vote!
It was at half staff on live shot with MSNBC. See a recording here http://www.breitbart.tv/aerial-views-show-mass-crowd-gathering-for-march-on-dc/
starts at 46 seconds in.
Actually the four people in the image shown above might be more like at :27 in the video.
You’re waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off and if you can’t see that this is more than 60,000 people then I don’t know what to tell you. Just from my experience at the Capital July 4th celebration on the mall, where the crowd estimate every year is usually around 500K, this crowd is about that, or even more impressive.
OMG what is your deal?
Perfect!! So there was over 500K by that graph.
Yeah, that’s what I was commenting on. Must have been raised to full staff around noon, then.
110,000. Get freakin’ real!! Try 110K x10
