STORY:
Philadelphia New Year's Eve Plan

According to the Philadelphia Daily News, a $7.9 million sound-and-light show has been approved by the Delaware River Port Authority, to land on the river New Year's Eve. The Port Authority, which makes its money from operating the four trans-river bridges and the Patco rail line, will fund the project but is looking to cover those expenses with corporate sponsorships.

Highlights of the show include lasers shooting from a tower on the Delaware River, piercing the surface of the water, while purple sea lions dance on the waves, Man o' war ships battle to the death and a giant colorful sphinx rises up beside the Ben Franklin Bridge.
