Spring Fever

In the spirit of improv, lighthearted fun, what happens when people do the un-ordinary and unexpected in public? It's fascinating to watch human behavior as the unexpected jolts us out of our unconscious behavior.

With the flavor of candid camera, check out this video as one of the largest train stations in the world comes to a halt. People freeze in place for five minutes in Frozen in Grand Central Station. The reaction of those not "frozen" were filmed.

The group responsible is called Improv Everywhere. They "cause scenes of chaos and joy in public places". Their mission Mobile Desktop had me laughing on the floor. Enjoy and Happy Spring everyone!
