Estimates range from thousands to tens of thousands but I find this post here quite compelling.
An unnamed Fox news reporter told some attendees that there were 50 people per second marching down Pennsylvania Avenue for 2 and a half hours, plus some stragglers for another 45 minutes, at about 20 people per second. This translates to about 500,000 people in the march, headed for the Capitol lawn.Currently the DC Police website has nothing up regarding this event, here.

Actually, the DC police called it "1.2 million" about an hour ago.
ReplyDeleteMy 500,000 estimate was based on the Fox news reporter's comments to my my husband, who is in DC with some friends (and my video camera). The stragglers part of my estimate came from watching the live DC street cam videos since 9:30am, when the march started.
Additionally, this is only the people who MARCHED Pennsylvania Ave, not the ones who went directly to the Capitol without marching.
I heard on the radio at about 1:30pm the National Park Service had estimated 1.5 million..have heard nothing since.
