I watched this stunt at Rainbow Harbor Long Beach of a record setting jump from a pier to barge of 265 ft. The stunt was almost a mile from the Hotel Queen Mary. The guy setting the new record went back to the end of the barge and jumped in

Spectacular. The ball dropping at Times Square, New York City was awesome. Can't wait for lots of things to come in 2010, even Ship Simulator Extremes.

12 tons is indeed a wow. And it dropping gave me joy when a new decade began.

I know Santa Monica Pier, it is located in the area of Los Angeles/Hollywood/Long Beach. Even though I never went there, I did see it on the internet a lot.
