It would have been nice if they all pulled out their digitals and called their friends on cell phones, but there were no Japanese there. This is 1917 Portugal. Besides, everybody experiencing the miracle was absorbed by an invisible force that put them prostrate on the ground. This lasted for 10 minutes. And despite the puddles of water and mud from the rain pouring all day, after the 10 minute phenomena, the ground and clothes were miraculously dry.

Those photos you mention were just preliminaries to the main event. And people from 25 miles away who were not direct participants in the event saw the phenomena too.
