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.

Ahh, memories...I remember opening a corn flakes cereal box when I was 3 and getting a free prize inside. It was a silver 1996 Summer Olympic Games coin, and that's when I first heard of the Olympics...I watched it on TV and was amazed at what they're doing! =julius923, you rock for posting this video!
