Olympics Countdown Begins With a Flurry of Preparations

Jul 14 2008 - 11:15am The Olympics have revived China's second largest city. Today Beijing glitters with high-profile, modernist buildings, the world's largest airport terminal, and a new National Theater — one of the few cultural monuments built in China in the last 30 years. Now less than 30 days before 8-8-08, spectacular antiterrorism drills are underway and finishing touches are being made. Take a peek behind the curtains and see what China's up to — the Segways are just the beginning. Start Slideshow

    I hope nothing bad happens at the Olympics. It just seems to have so much potential for disaster...

    I just got back from Phoenix and they had security guards on Segways as well. They look so funny but those guys can move!

    I just don't know if I could take anyone seriously on a segway. Even if they were carrying a machine gun.
