Sky News: "Twenty thousand people have gathered
in Central London today to celebrate the largest
Hindu carnival of chariots event outside of India".
Organiser: "We're hoping to see between 2,000
and 5,000 people today. We'd be very happy about
that."
Cue pictures: Clearly about 20,000 - 30,000 people
in view from the top of a nearby building.
a) TV estimates correctly
b) Police estimate 30,000
c) Both TV and police estimate numbers at about 6x
what the organisers are saying
Downright weird.
