Thursday night's event proved the "flashmob" fad -- in which respondents are tipped via the Internet to show up at a certain place at a certain time -- isn't dead yet.

"It was the most bizarre and surreal experience of my life," bemused commuter Danny Clifford told the BBC. "The clock hit 7.18pm and suddenly the place erupted. Everyone was plugged into their MP3 players so there was no music to be heard." The song of the day, the BBC said, was the club tune "What You Do."
