New year 1965 to 1966 welcomed aboard thousands of people to see the ball drop as the count down to zero, the crowds have a large sound effect by having a large feast, Jan 1 1966 welcomes the world to us.
That new years eve was the warmest ever in 1965-1966 it hit a record high with a mild afternoon high of 63 degrees and it dropped down to a mild 58 degrees when the ball dropped at the stroke of midnight and then 7 years after that when it was 1972-1973 they had that weather again but it rained that year and it didnt reach up to the record high 63 the high was only 59 that was when New Years Eve legend Dick Clark started to host New Years Rockin Eve and was his 1st year then
1966 would become a pivotal year for pop culture with Batman premiering later that January, Star Trek premiering in September, and the beginnings of psychedelics, the hippie era and the anti-war movement.
As the ball dropped in Times Square on that New Year's Eve 1965-66, John V Lindsay was about to become Mayor of NYC and a transit strike was about to start. Not a great way to start a new administration or a new year.

I hope everyone had a Happy 1966. What are we up to now--1990 something?
2020.
Must’ve been using ie
I thought it was 1985. You telling me we went back to the future or something?
I wasn't there until 6 months after that NYC ball was lowered. 👶
We’re in 2024 now!
I wish I could go back to 1965 or 66. Better times back then.
No, simpler time but not better.
Woah I hate ww2

And exactly at the moment, the NYC transit workers went on strike.
And yes, also began the era of modern day Liberalism of which we still suffer from which is now a form of dictatorship.
I hope that snow came at 11:52 PM

on a lighter note, a high percentage of the people in Times Square that night are now dead. Those still alive are old and near death.
On an even lighter note, in 50 years the same will be true of everyone in this comment section.
I was in that crowd as a 15 year old.I just beat back Delta at 71.
