New Year's Eve - Millennium Coverage - 12/31/99 (Pt.1)

Looking back to what seems like a simpler time - now incredibly 10 years in our past already.

Highlighting the celebrations that took place December 31, 1999 leading up to the arrival of the new millennium. Coverage as seen on the CNN networks, featuring Beijing, Sydney, Seoul, Tokyo, and London. Plus some behind the scenes news on the Times Square ball used that night.

There was such optimism everywhere that night. Some things since then may have disappointed us, but as another decade arrives now, maybe we need some of that again...
Have hope - the 21st century is still young.
