Best prank ever: Stopping time at Grand Central Station

by Jerry Guo   Feb 1st 2008 @ 12:39PM


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.
