Lighting the cauldron is not about the pageantry, it is about the man or woman who lit the cauldron and what he/she symbolizes in the name of humanity.

Atlanta the city spent almost no money. It was all done by corporate sponsors and wealthy investors. And overall i think the games made like a $15 million dollar profit.

I remember watching this when i was 16 what a great year in general.

I watch this and I'm filled with a pride of how great America can be. This was a time (1996) when everything was going right. The economy was booming, people were happy, there were no wars, Clinton was running the country flawlessly, and the United States was looked upon as a place of hope and moral strength by the rest of the world. 12 years later, and look what the Neo-Cons have done to all that. Hopefully Barack Obama can return us to the stature that we as Americans took for granted.

That was a camera suspended by 4 cables. They had a camera sytems in which the camera could be moved anywhere all over the stadium about ~30 feet above the ground. The cables were very long and computer controlled.
