STRANGE BUT TRUE!!!!Up to a million people will take part in a synchronised toilet flush in an attempt to unblock sewers in Zimbabwe.

I've also heard that if something like this did happen this could cause breaking of sewer lines.

Well, the first event was held, but, while over 350 sources reported on it, no determination of the outcome was mentioned:

one less than 50% excerpt:

If you were standing on the streets of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe Saturday evening, you might have heard a sudden, mysterious sound, coming from all directions. That would have been the sound of thousands of toilets harmoniously flushing in an effort to clear out blockages in the sewer system.

The Bulawayo City Council called for residents to unite in the simultaneous flush after going without water for 72 hours. The city has implemented a strict conservation program designed to make drought-ravaged supply dams last until the rainy season starts in November. After such long periods without running water, the sewer system can become so clogged that the mass flushing is needed to clear it out....
