“The US Strategic Commands post, now deleted, contained a new year’s greetings in the form of a clip where a bomb dropped from a bomber, and the message that, if necessary, is prepared to release something much, much bigger than the ball that, according to tradition, is put down at Times Square in New York city at the stroke of midnight.”

“Around one million people are expected to celebrate the new year at Times Square in New York city. Since 1907 it is made by a large ball slowly put down.”
