Best prank ever: Stopping time at Grand Central Station
I wish I had been there. This is possibly one of the most astounding (visually at least) stunts ever pulled. No exaggeration--just watch the video.
Over 200 New Yorkers recently walked into one of the busiest train stations in the world, New York's Grand Central Station, and at exactly 2:30 pm, all froze in place. There's one guy in the video who froze just as he was stooping down to pick up some scattered papers. Talk about commitment.
Get the full briefing on the backstory here.
UPDATE: Part 2 of this prank, now in London and now even more impressive.

This group does the best pranks I've ever seen. My all-time favorites are the cell phone ringers in the public library, and when they all dressed up as Best Buy employees.
All of their missions.

MY ONLY QUESTION AFTER VEIWING THE VIDEO CLIP IS "WHY"???????????
A friend sent this to me.... WHY?........ Good Lord, why would she want to waste my time? Why would she take to time to forward it & yet ask me to forward it?? I DON'T GET IT??? I THINK IT'S STUPID! I AM A FUN LOVING PERSON & I LOVE TO LAUGH & SMILE but I saw no humor or ryme or reason for this.
***********WHY I ASK, WHY????***********

This is the 2nd time I've come across one of your productions. Totally entertaining. I am sure it would be very disconcerting to walk into that stunt.

I think it's kind of dumb, but whatever floats your boat.

i'd have to agree with you, everywhere else people would have said "no, i have actual productive work i must do, go away now"

Hilarious! I wish I could have seen it live. The guy who asks how long this has been going on is honestly creeped out... Brilliant, well done!
