On a cold Saturday a couple weeks ago in New York City, the world's largest train station came to a sudden halt. Over 200 Improv Everywhere "Agents" froze in place at the exact same second for five minutes in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station. Over 500,000 people rush through Grand Central every day, but on this particular day, things slowed down just a bit as commuters and tourists alike stopped to notice what was happening around them.

This event was organized by the group known as "Improv Everywhere."

that was incredible... were they all actors? the video didn't show anyone that "broke", and i would think that would be exceedingly difficult for anyone not trained...

Excellent!!! People need to slow down and take notice to the world around them. How many people do you think walked away with a different outlook on the day?
