The flash mob phenomenon began in early 2003 when people became aware, through the Internet, of events organized by a person or group called the "Mob Project", planned for New York City. The first flash mob, which was scheduledzaplanowany, wyznaczony to take place at a discount storesklep z towarami po obniżonych cenach, didn't really materialize because a group of police and a paddy-wagonwięźniarka, having been tipped offto tip off: dawać cynk, ostrzegać about the event, arrived at the store first and scared off the participants. Organizers avoided such problems during the second flash mob by sending participants to preliminaryprzygotować, wstępnie zbadać staginginsceinzacja areas — in four pre-arranged Manhattan bars — where they were given further instructions about the final event and location just before the event began.
