One of the largest protests in Australian history. Entire Harbour Bridge covered in people.

There's no FOMO, there's no reward for continuing on when you the people in front of you slow down, or you've been told to turn around.

There's specific mentalities that contribute to crowd crush events and an organized peace march just doesn't have that.

Also not an expert, just hyper fixated on disasters for awhile and crowd crushes and similar "stampede" events were a solid week of videos, papers, and news articles.
