New Years Eve - Y2K - NBC - 4/4

[metaltera86]

Compare what the year 1 looks like to year 2001. A MAJOR technology difference. Now I cant bear to imagine what year 2001 to 3001 would look like..oh boy

[KingFrankieD]

[IAMSAM1234567890]

[vidbashar9207]

i think its pretty awesome that i got to live in a time when i saw a new millenium start.

makes me wonder what people in the future will think of us.

[Tvnkcp]

2000-2010 is the crappiest years ever. now these days its all about the money.

[Tvnkcp]

1:21 when she said push the button , i thought she was going to launch missles

[pesgores]

VUVUZELA AT 5:07

Okay guys who time-travelled here?

[AdamcanbeAdam]

according to the Gregorian calendar, there is a year 0 :P during the year 0, it wasn't called that because the Gregorian calender wouldn't be created for another thousand years.

[guruboy5]

i thought y2k was when the ball dropped the numbers went from 1999 to 1910 or something

[rania3830]

it would have been funny if the y2k bug had struck when it got to 1 and all the lights shut down.

[lolking4]

from year 2000 was such a huge revolution in technologie

[itsGerbilsworld]

cool, i lived through 2 milleniums , 3 decades(90s , 00s , 10s) and 2 centuries

[ShaneGuitar13]

@itsGerbilsworld your 2230 years old?

[itsGerbilsworld]

@ShaneGuitar13

Actually i dont know, i just know ive existed in 3 different decades , the 20th century and 21st century :P

[ShaneGuitar13]

@itsGerbilsworld ok

[Superflykid2008]

man. it's so sad to watch this really. Those people were so happy...little did they know what was ahead of them..especially Bush and 9/11...

[Introspective91]

@Superflykid2008 You are right. When they began discussing then mayor Guliani, I was like "yeah, he does have strength" they predicted that he'd have it hard, and they were correct!

[fady108]

IF U LOVE Y2J GIMMICK FOR WWE STAR CHRIS JERICHO PLZ THUMP UP :D

IF U ARE Ready for this problem agin on 2038 also thump UP

[jboycub7]

well, the computers never shut down and there was no "cyber terrorism", I think that besides all that, even with all of the world's troubles, we have so much to be thankful for

[whiteflash9]

see the y2k problem was that they THOUGHT that every thing might shut down but the 2012 problem is that th mayan caladar says its gonna end and the mayans have NEVER been wrong

[UndertakerIs4Life]

Y2K, 6/6/06, 2012 fail

[BohemianArcade]

Hehe they're playing Auld Lang Syne, that really is a surprise :)

[TheSWISHER33]

THERE IS NO WAY THE WORLD IS ENDING IN 2012 PEOPLE!

[AnimationManiac]

It's sad that people didn't even know what was going to happen. 9/11, Bush, wars, Katrina, the recession etc. they were all very sad days. Hopefully, the 2010's will be better and the recession will hopefully end. But let's face it! Every year or decade is going to have a bad moment.

[seganerd89]

you'd think everyone would be freaking out because it was the end of the world!!

[drbrucel]

Dont belive any doomsday profits their all cons.

[rokkdinface]

I was 4 when this happened, it is nice to see what it was like.

[jakec916]

to be honest the year 2000 was the sign of the apocalypse... look at the fucking world and where its going already. the beginning of this millennium started off with a great big bang. LITERALLY. war, war, and more war, disease, death, terrorism, inflation. all on the rise. lol

[jayhaoliao]

funny that now we can tell the later generations that we were born in the last MILLANIUM lol

[darthroach12]

the new milliuem began in 2000 retards

[sega31098]

@darthroach12

No. A millenium starts on the first year. The 2nd millenium started on January 1, 1001 and ended December 31, 2000.

[kane6700]

The world wont end in 2012 but many disasters or other catastrophys may take place like Supernova...

[JuanManu18]

10 años de la llegada del milenio y el problema informatico Y2K ''efecto 2000''

[zellco321]

One week left till the brand NEW Decade!!

[gamerboy49]

Ring in the 2010s in 10 days!

[Phoenix2485]

Fucking local channels always cutting in, nobody cares about your 2nd rate fireworks show...NYC is where the party's at.

[ADIOHAWK1]

nyc all the way!!!!

[Mikeydude27]

The world is not ending in 2012, people pull yourselfs together! There's tons of proof all over that it won't happen.

[darkworldskater]

@Mikeydude27 Agreed

[jagsfanintexas95]

good times good times

[rene11717]

this was the bestnew years ever..

no joke..

[bluecongo]

I'm confused! People keep saying that the new millenium starts in 2000. But the new millenium started ACUALLY in 2001!

[MSTS1]

Two-Thousand years can't be fully two-thousand years until the 2000th year is complete (there was no year-zero.) So, the next one-thousand years began at the moment of Jan.1, 2001 (1/1/01) - it always does.

The last: Jan. 1, 1001 (1/1/01),

The next one will be Jan. 1, 3001 (1/1/01...)

[electrogeek77]

@MSTS1 I think that most people thought that saying "the year 2000" sounded cooler. While technically right, the people that kept correcting everyone were still party poopers. ;)

BTW. this video makes me so homesick for Boston. :(

[MSTS1]

@electrogeek77 - Yes, I agree. Even if technically correct, it really wouldn't have made much sense to anyone to 'celebrate the new millennium' one year after the arrival of 'The Year 2000'..

[Superflykid2008]

@bluecongo

popular culture doesn't really follow the technicalities. While the 21st century may have technically began in 01, it will be remembered in history as beginning in 00, which is fine. People like round numbers...and 2001 isn't really a round number. 2000 is a nice round starting point, so it makes since. Just like we start off decades with 1970s, 80s,90s,00s,10s,2020s. It would be weird if decades were named off as 1971s, 2981, 91s, 01s,11s,2021s...wouldn't feel right...

[ThaMan6820]

@Superflykid2008 Yeah I know,people are so dumb these days.They say that 2001 was the new millennium and decade.They're saying that 2010 is a new decade,I mean that doesn't make sense at all.It should always be an even year to start off a new decade not an odd year that has not even number.That doesn't seem right,does it?Decades should never begin with 1's,right?They're saying that 2001 began the 00's.Just make it easy it actually began in 2000 with a new decade century and millennium.

[homestarfan2008]

2000 wasn't the beginning of the millennium. The 2nd millenium AD ended December 31, 2000 and the 3rd millennium and 21st century started January 1, 2001.

[zellco321]

@ 2:15 In "Thanks Mom"

[bluecongo]

It's hard to belive that it's been 9 years ago ever since this happened. Almost a decade ago....... :)

[Drsatan9]

indeed time flys

[malikscifi92]

what's the song that starts at 1:45?

i like it

[zellco321]

is a neat song i agree the song is called

Ascent of Time preformed by the Peabody Symphony Orchestra

[ChomuSclavus]

Wow! SOME of the people here in the Times Square Y2K crowd were the people who died in the World Trade Center - am I right or am i right?

(I wonder how someone can edit this video so it highlights anyone in the crowd who died in the attacks.)

[Drsatan9]

dude your a loser bury your dead and move on

[imthelegendkiller]

umm i think im gonna have to go with the following:

"You're right!!"

[puro0cuento]

aaaaaaaaaaaaah the 90s, the years of my childhood. its really interesting to look back on the year 2000 as we are about to enter into an almost decade since then. happy New year everyone. Prospero ano y felicidad!!!!

[julianallees]

I have absolutely no idea why, but whenever I watch clips about the 1999-2000 turn over, I always feel sad, knowing that one will never have the opportunity to go back to the 20th Century.

Yours,

julianallees

31st December, 2008 1:47pm

[BobeyLeo]

me too, i feel teh SAME exact way...

[Cornholeio94]

Didnt th3ey say it would be the end of the world, Y2K OOOOOOOUUUUUUU

[michael85225]

Funny how people anticipated they year 2000 back then. To me, it was the beginning of the worst era ever. I mean after 2000, everything went downwards. We were attacked a year later, we went to war, our gas prices started to climb up, our economy started going down, etc. I remembered the good old days in 90's, it was such a good time to be alive.

[tjwwe]

Roll on the Tens ! (2010 - 2019)

[bluecongo]

Well, not yet.

[ThaMan6820]

No 2000 still counts as a year at least for a decade,it always been a new millennium because it was an even year and a leap year.It definitely shouldn't 2001,because it was a odd year.Leap years should always count as a new decade century and millennium.

[Superflykid2008]

@michael85225

gas prices have been climbing for almost 100 years..

[Lamicktin]

@michael85225 war has always been around

[meowzer3]

@michael85225 ditto. i miss the 90's

[idontloveducks]

@michael85225 Yeah, I would also prefer to go back to the 90s. 2000 wasn't all that bad, it was the beginning of technological advancements. That's pretty much the only good thing about it.

[miamivicepastels83]

@michael85225 you aint lyin honey

[cint455]

what is the music called at the end of the clip

[Middleaster]

happy 2000+

[bluecongo]

Thanks for uploading this video.

[shawntmcc]

Does every one sound drunk on the turn of the century.

[buccieri]

the start of a new millenium
