Final preps for Times Square NYE celebration

Final touches completed work on the Times Square New Year's Eve ball on Monday ahead of celebrations later in the week.

Workers finished the installation of the 192 Waterford crystal triangles that adorn the ball every year. This year's design is called the "Gift of Wisdom." Revelers will ring in the new year in New York's famous square on Friday. Viewing areas will be limited to about 15,000 to allow for more distancing, and everyone in attendance must show proof of vaccination and wear a mask.
