I don't think they have ever been to New York. It's the only explanation. They must think Ground Zero is your average urban vacant lot. They'll be screaming into the wind across a sixteen-acre void, and won't even make an echo.
Plus, that is a business district and most people are LONG gone home by 6:30. There will still be foot traffic at that hour, of course, but what these people also don't seem to realize is that New Yorkers are self-trained not to make eye contact with, or linger long around, strange people verbalizing loudly on the street or in the subway.
Their big performance will be largely ignored and people will avoid them -- and not because they arrived from the Burrito Bar -- and will NOT make good footage for that dopey site.

Kind of like those dopes on Wall Street who were holding up long screeds on 8x11 sheets of paper across the street, as the politicians raced by?
I'm thinking of heading over there, just to laugh at them and see how long it takes for one (or more, if I'm lucky!) to inform me that I can't *possibly* know what it's like because I don't live here -- only for them to find out that I live a hell of a lot closer than do any of them. (Like that dessicated, enviro-wacko on Wall Street a year and a half ago. Remember her?)
