I don't thikn I could estimate myself the difference between 400k and 5 million, even from a helicopter. I don't have any frame of reference
There are experts in crowd counting. They start with a topical view and count sections etc.

They did make the brocha on 600k+. No helicopters due to the weather.

Doesn't seem like there was a million...although plus 600K is quite a lot!

I have no sofek that they will. Assuming that Harav Stainmen is behind it.
Airlines sending me "We're in this together" emails.

Huge hock if the bracha that was made was a bracha levatala. Most people say now that there was not more then 400 thousand.
I was there but obviously I can't tell how many there were.

according to kikarshabbas (Israeli chareidi news site) Rav steinman was the one who said to make the brocho if that is true I trust him

Today was the ma'amad of

הסעפים אם יהוה האלהים לכו אחריו ואם הבעל לכו אחריו

Pretty clear who is where.

ppl have to learn that if a big rabbi like r baruch Mordechai gets up and says a brocho than they should all frikin shut up who are they to say that he Dosent know what he is talking about? I'm sure he thought about the point that there may not be enough ppl and he said it anyways so let all the ppl who don't believe him get on a bus together and go to hell
