Having this in a Google Maps-esque interface with the ability for users to annotate and comment on any point would be interesting.

Another creative idea would be to have a story mode, i.e. snapshots of this cross-section at the next hour/day/evening/etc.. It'd be like a comic strip but on each panel there'll be 5000 stories to follow up from the previous one.

Hah, now I'm thinking about the world as such a comic strip.
