The fire chief clearly states that the estimated crowd was 60,000.
70,000 is the population of “The Villages”.
May I suggest that you ask a mod to correct the thread title?
(60,000 is nothing to be ashamed of!)
The report has been edited by the News-Press since they published the original story. The original headline and article said 70,000. I imagine the MSM, which this paper is a part of, will be knocking the crowd size down overnight so that by the time the morning shows are on they’ll be saying it was only a few dozen old folks who got lost going home from church.
There were less biased estimates around 100,000
