The Times Square Ball

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the Times Square New Year's Eve ball drop. To celebrate the event, a new and improved ball has been designed to marry the tradition of Waterford crystals, with new energy-efficient LED lights.

Here, the crew begins assembling the base for the lights and crystals.
