 Flash Mob #7 was great fun!
This was the email I received:
INSTRUCTION MOB #7
Location: Manhattan
Start time: Thursday, August 14th, 4:10 pm
Duration: 18 hours

(1) At some point during the day, synchronize your watch to http://www.time.gov
/timezone.cgi

(2) At 4:10pm, shut off all your power. You may need to go to the fuse box to do this.

(3) If you happen to be in a subway train or elevator, you will be stuck, but you can still particiapate. Just pretend that you are someone who is stuck in an elevator or subway and be slightly annoyed.

(4) After all your power is off, walk down the countless flights of stair while holding the hand of the 70 year old woman who was feeling faint. When she says, “I am sorry to be a nuisance”, say, “it's all right – not to worry”.

(5) Once out of your building, disperse.

This was no flash mob that is a real event that happened..dont confuse the people trying to figure out what flash mobs are for real flash mobs dont turn of traffic lights or keep innocent people in the heat for no reason. we do what we do for fun.

Hey so ok the blackout was a "Real" event. But at least some people have a sense of humor. Sorry you ppl were inconvinienced but you have to laugh or youd go mad. and next time tell the electrician to leave the fusebox alone.

i got an idea - how about "Flash Mauves" - everyone on the web can make their website only shades of mauve for say an hour. i'm trying it on my blog with "Flash Greyscale" as a test run.
(oh and mr. ??? needs to drink some chamomille tea and chill out)

london seems to have the
same idea..........

Widespread Power Outages In London - BBC



LONDON -(Dow Jones)- London and other parts of the southeastern U.K. are suffering widespread power outages Thursday evening.

Gillian Home, spokeswoman at grid operator National Grid Transco PLC(NYSE:NGG) (NGG) confirmed the outages but couldn't comment further.

"We're trying to get to the bottom of it here," Home said.

BBC reported major disruptions on the London Underground, including evacuatations at some stations. Overland trains were widely disrupted throughout the Southeast, including at Ashford, Kent, a hub for Eurostar cross-channel train services.

BBC cited London electricity operator EdF Energy, a unit of Electricite de France (F.EDF), as saying it "seems that one of the National Grid circuits that feed south London has failed."
