Those were the righteous catching the last train to heaven.

"Hey man, could could you take our picture? Thanks."

"Sucker."

That picture doesn't show anywhere even close to one million people. There may be a lot more people out of the frame, but it would have to be a majority of the people.

Or, to put it another way, if the people were standing 10 people wide, and spaced in one foot intervals, 1 million people would form a line 100,000 feet long. 100,000 feet is nearly 19 miles long. There aren't 19 rows, what you can see of each row is far less than a mile, and the people aren't 10 wide.

Picture a stadium in the US with 100,000 people in it. I'm not sure there are even that many people visible in those pictures.
