CNN: Millennium 2000

A new, year, a new decade, a new century, and a new millenium! How cool is that!?

On New Year's Eve 1999, I was in Finland! I remember when the 2000s started, but then I drove back to Sweden which meant that I drove back into the 20th century

Wish i could see the Millennium of 3000 :( Man that would be something.

I remember sitting in my bedroom watching this as it happened. It was amazing to see the whole world celebrating the same thing. I even turned down a trip to the store with my parents that day. My mom asked if I wanted to go, and I said, "No thanks. This is too interesting and I don't want to miss it." For one day, it seemed as if the whole world was at peace.

People had no idea the shit storm that was coming.

Its kinda nice seeing all of humanity just unites and forgets about all their shenanigans for a moment and just enjoy the time

The whole world seems happy...

So crazy to think everyone was like holy shit 2000 is here the future will hit the world at midnight lol

I remember being 7 years old and celebrating the new millennium in Mexico with my siblings, grandparents and my two aunts such great memories ❤️

If you was born in 1990... You have lived this moment a lot

Seeing some of the most Ancient Cultures and Civilizations celebrating the new millennium made made cry so hard. So majestic, fascinating, fantastic and pure amazing. It brought me serious goosebumps as well.

Must have been a special new year.

Only a few months later the Olympic games were held in Sydney. It was the last time the world was able to come together and celebrate as one before the world changed forever only 1 year later.

Everybody had a certain level of innocence, curiosity, and optimism in their eyes. All that was lost about a year after the new millennium that changed our world forever.

I had this on VHS. I specifically remember Chatham Islands being broadcasted.

watching this on new years 2019

Wow,looks like news from the 1900s is better then 2019 news XD

I was 13 during this and fascinated by what all the cities did. So lucky I was able to see it all. Wish I could see Y3K.

I love living in this era, I know there is so much shit and negativity, but we are truly living one of the most pivotal times in the history of mankind. For the first time we are connected, we can communicate, organize, mobilize in a worldwide scale. It is truly such a wonderful time to be alive and it is the of all of us to steer this ship into hopeful horizons.
