I'm not sure how I'd react to something like that. Probably start looking around to see if Allen Funt was anywhere near.

You never know, that may be their next planned stunt.

I can't load it at work, but I can tell you that a train stopping outside Chicago will do the same thing.  I was going to work one day, and a freight train crossing the CNW tracks outside Des Plaines derailed.  They had to bus us around the problem.  The platforms in Des Plaines were jammed, and we all had to wait 90 min. in sub-zero weather.  There was a goof from my train stop that worked in the CNW tower, and NEVER wore a coat.  I'm sure he regretted that decision.

Its from an improv group in NYC.  They specialize in public disruptions (including a "no pants" day on the subway once a year)...like this "Slow motion Day at Home Depot"

I also like the one where they descended upon a band nobody knew.  They filled the show, knew the words to all their songs after downloading them from their website, fake band-name tatoos... too funny.

I think this could be the beginning of an international  (NON) movement. I like it and I like the fact that people applauded. I think a band could pull off a MILLI-VANILLI stunt just for laughs in a club . ...band freezes...music continues...... This is fun stuff. ,Thanx
