He captured the scene this way at 11:33 a. M. Yeah. That was it. And this isn t just like a shot that was taken in the wrong direction or a shot taken of the sidelines. See what we re pointing out there? that s the big screen, and that s the stage. That s the center of the main event less than a half hour before the whole thing was supposed to kick off. Where is everybody? now, to be fair, this was 11:33 a. M. Things did fill out a little bit by the time noon actually rolled around. But not by that much. This was as big as the whole thing ever got on saturday. This was around 1:00 p. M. About an hour into it. When there is a big march or rally in washington, a big gathering, sometimes news outlets will use like, you know, crowd size experts or aerial views of the crowd or do a bunch of complicated math to try to
