With the park at absolute capacity, the late arrivals filled the streets as far as the eye could see, while a huge influx of passengers overwhelmed nearby metro stations, which were eventually forced to close.From pedestrian footbridges, we filmed some of the most remarkable images of a rally I have ever seen: the streets a heaving mass of pretty, colourful umbrellas marching in different directions on a six-lane highway.
They marched and chanted. No pushing or shoving, and no sign of violence. They defied a police marching ban and government condemnation. The Beijing and Hong Kong administrations already knew they had a problem, especially after a week of increased violence and airport shut downs. But now they know theyTo try and stop a protest of this size, there would almost certainly be loss of life"So we carry on, we have no choice," one young man told me.
The people clearly never had any intention of staying put regardless of what the police had said. With these numbers, there wouldn't be a way of stopping them without causing pandemonium, and almost certain loss of life.It wasn't just one march though - it was everywhere. Moving in different directions. The aim to be on the streets, and not to head for a final destination. Essentially a takeover of the streets.
Roads in every direction were choked with protesters. Some of the city's largest streets were filled to bursting.Incredibly, the shops in the Causeway Bay remained open as the march continued. We found ourselves pushed through the doors of a super upmarket shopping mall, past mega expensive handbag and jewellery shops. Nobody could stem this crowd.
