the reason why the ball flashed red when the lady said "1", is because In 1988, organizers acknowledged the addition of a leap second earlier that day (leap seconds are appended at midnight UTC, which is five hours before midnight in New York) by extending the drop to 61 seconds, and by including a special one-second light show during the extra second.
I agree to a certain extent it was but you can't forget about the War on Drugs Aids Epidemic the Crack Cocaine Epidemic Street Gangs Everywhere Serial Killers were at it's Highest Peak,and alot of murders happened nationwide back in the 80's as well but yeah times were better back then but the world even back then was far from a better place but yeah I do get what you saying it was more fun times back then
Aha!- I knew there was something there in the countdown. Take a good close look at the pyrotechnics under the year just before it is lighted. After one, there was some wording looking like "leap" on the billboard at 2:58. Since the years are getting longer the scientists at Greenwich keep adding a second to keep up with a slowing earth. Since 1972, it has happened 15 times....
You know, 1988 had the highest number of births since the boomers, the gen y millennial group is twice as large as those born in the 70's like me. No wonder the schools were overflowing in the 90's and 2000's. With class sizes twice as large as mine. All of you saying you were born in 1988, well there's like thousands of people born that year. The US has become too populated due to the rise in birth rates in the 1980's. My area that I live in seems more crowded now. Eastern PA.
