A Behind The Scenes Look At The Times Square New Years Ball

More than a million people will pack New York's Times Square Thursday night to watch the ball drop atop One Times Square, ushering in the new year. More than a billion are expected to watch on TV. The event will be broadcast live on "Dick Clark's New Years Rockin' Eve." The ball has been a central part of the celebration for more than a century. Here are some interesting facts about the ball. It weighs nearly six tons, and the nearly 2,700 triangular panels are made of Waterford crystal. ABC was granted a unique look behind the scenes.
