Recent Swiss flashmobs have demonstrated what they deem to be scary but realistic effects of nuclear power. The random flashmobs would randomly collaspse in the street--much to the horror of uninvolved passerby--in order to demonstrate the effects of a potential nuclear meltdown from nuclear power plants.
The idea of the Swiss flashmobs is to protest the development of nuclear plants and rally support for alternate energy sources. The video documenting the Swiss flashmobs is actually terrifying--see it above.
