Fictional story of a flash mob gone terribly wrong: "

Tom Scott's Ignite London talk 'Flash Mob Gone Wrong' is a fictionalized account of just how badly a flash mob could go. It's got an eerie ring of plausibility, largely because each of the steps leading up to the disastrous ending actually happened, just not all together. It's a freaky way to spend five minutes.
