Behold, Vancouver's Olympic stadium cauldron hatch?

On May 13, 2009, Vancouver 24 hours was at Vancouver's Olympic stadium while workers covered a 20-foot-deep shaft for what sources say was the first phase in building the Olympic flame cauldron and an elevated platform. On June 16, VANOC announced a secret $8 million payment for ceremony-related construction. The 2010 Winter Olympics open Feb. 12, 2010 at B.C. Place Stadium in Vancouver

it was the door that failed, not the shaft itself

One of those construction workers messed up one of Cauldrons. :D His name was Tony...his reaction after: "Hey wadda do you want from me-ya, huh?"

Ended up being an ugly cauldron anyway, even without the malfunction. Rivals Atlanta's embarrassing McDonald's french fry container looking cauldron.
