- input_sh 7y agoThere are ways to check that. I've used the bridge photo as a reference: https://www.mapchecking.com/#47.4984682,19.0412546;47.4985389,19.0412098;47.4990559,19.0438294;47.4989692,19.0438531;47.4989691,19.0438647;1;47.4993386,19.0431566,18 https://www.mapchecking.com/#47.4984682,19.0412546;47.498538... Bottom left of the marked area are those lion statues, while the top right is the lowest point of the chains between the two gates, which is as far as I can see the crowd using that reference. 1 person per meter is a pretty low estimate for a protest walk, but I took it as an average anyway since I can't see the density that far back. I've ended up with 1890 people, and I'd say that pretty much the lowest estimate you can get from that photo.

The bridge is about 6 metres wide (two narrow car lanes) but the farthest visible point is about 250 metres away. So it could be approximately 1500 square metres, and a crowd of about 1000-2000 people, although those who are actually visible are far less. Nice tool though, I'll use it again!
