Video of New York Times Square Ball Drop 2011
Loading...
Uploaded by RussiaToday on Jan 1, 2011
In New York, a crystal ball with 32,000 lights descended at midnight, setting off a wild and noisy confetti-filled New Year's celebration. Nearly a million revellers crowded New York's Time Square to witness the traditional dazzling ball drop and welcome in the new year. The crowd hollered as a ball with 32-thousand lights descended in the run-up to midnight local time (0500 GMT). The celebration took place just days after a blizzard paralysed the city and amid security concerns eight months after a Pakistani immigrant tried to detonate a car bomb in Times Square. Police had a strict security plan in place, with sealed manhole covers, counter-snipers on rooftops and checkpoints for partygoers.

I, Peter C. Leonardo sued the Seventh-day Adventist Church, with its offices known as "General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, located at 12501 Old Columbia Pike, Silver Spring, MD 20904, USA 301-680-6000, because I have mental disorders, and recurrent panic attacks because I was subjected to intense sectarian indoctrination about twenty years, I was deprogrammed and reprogrammed again by this destructive cult, so I have a mental illness in psychiatric terms...see more to make a clip in:
