Yeah I read the AP estimated 100k earlier. If it's closer to 200k that's even better

Man i would not wanna be on that bridge. They didnt set up any buffer zones on the sides of the bridge in case of panic. If there is one then people are gonna get crushed or have to jump into the water.

The original route would have been a different bridge, the police diverted them here because of a 30 people strong nazi counterprotest.

The organisers turned down the music during the passing to avoid the crowd marching to the beat.
