I know because I was in the booth. most of the operators have never turned off the lights, why would they ever need to? Also, how do you rehearse a bridge lighting? you tell me... should they just turn off the bridge and keep flipping the on switch over and over until they get the timing down? Yes, it could have gone over better but this is the first time anyone has tried anything like this in over 20 years... give people a break. LS- Aaron’s statement is true.

Rogosin comment above: How could there not have been coordination with the bridge operator? No rehearsal? And you blame the city, implying they were and always are incompetent so what do you expect? The organizers should have planned this better. Bad form. Really poorly done all around. re: Aaron I. Rogosin comment above: How could there not have been coordination with the bridge operator?
