Another stroke of genious from the group Improv Everywhere. In this event, over 3,000 people downloaded an mp3 track of music and instructions then everyone pressed "play" at an exact and specific time. This is well documented, including a public "Freeze", dance with an item in a shop, and a mass mumification in a park, with amazing results when the video sky shot is fast fowarded. You can talk with students about the idea of pranks and stunts that amuse and entertain without being destructive, and ask why people get involved. "Flash Crowds" is a broader term for one type of event. You can cross reference to the other video I have posted about a musical TED event.
