NYC Grand Central frozen in time

On a cold Saturday morning in January, over 200 Undercover Agents descended on New York City's Grand Central train station and left the entire concourse in a state of complete confusion.

What did they do that had everyone so confused? This flash mob suddenly froze in place at the exact same second for 5 minutes in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station. The frozen poses ranged from people tying their shoes and eating to someone who just dropped a stack of papers. Everyone from tourists to cops stopped in amazement to try to figure out what was happening around them.

A simple idea, you might think - but very effective! People's reactions are varied, with sheer puzzlement being the most common. After the 5 minutes were up, and the agents continued on with their act, the grand central train station filled with applause! Would have been great if it was to promote something, but still love the idea!
