Improv Everywhere: Frozen Grand Central
Over two hundred people freeze for five minutes inside NYC’s Grand Central station.
I didn’t give any instructions in advance. I just told everyone to be doing something realistic and not jokey. One guy dropped an entire briefcase full of papers the second before he froze, leaving his papers scattered before him for five minutes. Many froze midway through eating or drinking. A few froze while taking off a jacket. One couple froze kissing.

That’s really clever – when I clicked to go over to look at the documentation it froze up my browser for five minutes – how do they do that?

Possibly by including many many many animated gifs in one page. It feels just like 1997 again, doesn’t it? :)

Really cool, love the guy on his truck radioing for help. I can barely stand still for 5 seconds, doubt I’d make a good candidate for one of these!
