I found these stats amazing.
Official events were held in Washington, D.C. from January 18 to 21, 2009, including two large concerts, a day of service on the federal observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the inaugural day ceremony, luncheon and parade.
The government had passed out over 240,000 various security level passes with another unknown large numbers of observers surrounding his every move along the parade routes.
It was found that out of the record crowd in attendance, only 4 people had actually missed work that day.
