This probably might be the final part of Lindao's Times Square Ball Drop fails series, but the right hand clock not moving is not a fail. They sometimes just leave the clock on 12:00AM during the ball drop. And a fail for 2012 was that the Toshiba clock billboard was 1 second late.

Additions for pt9: 1947 - Ball drop starts hesitantly (according to NYT, I'll do an animation) 1950 - Ten minutes before midnight, the front and back of the ball dim out. 1954 - Strong winds push the back during its descent. 1955 (we have a video now so this is necessary) - Ball momentarily stops halfway down the pole, ball doesn't lower in time 1962 - Ball drop is 5 seconds late 1963 - Ball drop is 45 seconds late due to cold weather and strong winds 1968 - Ball doesn't lower in time (yes, you have to look very closely!) 1970 - Ball doesn't lower in time, AC billboards instead use their daytime lighting 1975 - Ball doesn't lower in time 1981 - Countdown is also too fast 1982 - Ball drop is 10 seconds late 2005 - Surround sound system malfunctions, Auld Lang Syne plays late 2006 - The fireworks also caused a lot of smoke due to humidity 2007 - Countdown display switches to a different countdown at midnight. 2009 - Countdown display is one second early 2011 - Clock display is one second early 2015 - Fireworks malfunction 2016 - Clock display is one second early 2017 - Ball drop button isn't pressed until about 11:59:40 Corrections: 1988 - It wasn't the sign that was 3 seconds early, it was the entire drop that was 3 seconds early. 1993 - The people were the crew lowering the ball. 1998 - The ball actually didn't start lowering until 11:59:17, and they probably did this on purpose because of the flares. Also, the first 2020 fail was actually the very first fail I spot, I even thought "they should've booed"
