It has been estimated that about one million people witnessed the space shuttle Endeavour move through the streets of Inglewood and Los Angeles as it made it way from LAX to the California Science Center in Exposition Park.
Also, crime in the city was down during the time of the shuttle's move.
According to the Los Angeles Times:
But in recapping the LAPD's efforts to patrol the crowds, [L.A.P.D. Chief] Beck told the Police Commission on Tuesday that the spectators were perhaps the best he's ever seen. "I maybe have never been involved in policing a crowd that was so positive and so proud," he said.
Crime rates for the city during the shuttle's weekend journey, he said, were the lowest in months.
