The first ever Flash Mob occurred, or rather, was planned to occur at 7:24pm on the evening of Tuesday June 3, 2003. An anonymous figure “Bill” sent an email to 50 friends giving detailed instructions for a meeting at a Manhattan accessories store. He encouraged them to forward the email to any friends who might be interested. Word of the meeting made it to the New York Police Department, and when participants arrived at the store they were met by a closed shop and armed police officers.
