Watch this touching performance of ‘Gangnam Style’ by Russian rescue workers
Staff from a local branch of the Federal Rescue Service (EMERCOM) in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug recently staged a touching “flashmob” at the Salekhard airport to celebrate the agency’s 25th anniversary.
During the event, firefighters distributed small flags and balloons dedicated to EMERCOM’s anniversary, and later performed a stomping dance while singing about their rescue work. The spectacle culminated with a rendition of the dance made popular by the 2012 hit song Gangnam Style.
In December 2012, Gangnam Style was the first YouTube video in history to get more than 1 billion views. Interest in the music video has declined sharply since then.
