What do you think of the Olympic torch lighting ceremony this morning?

Traveling Route of the Beijing Olympic Torch?
Hello,
I am quite puzzled about the Beijing Olympic Torchs route. If the flame was already flown in from Athens to Beijing on March 31st and now sits in a lantern waiting for August 08, what is the purpose of carrying another flame from Athens thru London thru Paris and now to San Francisco today (tuesday 4/8/08)? Why was a flame transported to Beijing earlier when the opening ceremonies wont happen until 08/08/08?
Arent they going in the opposite direction away from China?
It looks like there is not a direct path with the torch relay as the flame is carried thru multiple countries that are not next to each other. Does the flame travel by airplane into the next country?
Answer: The flame does travel by plane from country to country. The main reason behind the decision to take the torch relay from country to country was as a propaganda exercise by the Chinese government. This has backfired dramatically as we have seen large scale protests in London and Paris, with surely more to follow in San Francisco and other cities along the route.
The IOC is now considering abandoning all future world torch relays, given the controversy that has been generated by this one, not to mention its carbon footprint.

...Has the torch ever gone out en route?
Its almost a sacred ritual to carry the Olympic flame across the country and the world. I just wonder if the inevitable has ever happened by an accident or whatever.
Answer: When the flame went out
The only time that the Olympic flame has gone out during the Games was at Montreal, Canada, on July 27, 1976. It was doused by a cloudburst during a rest day when the only people in the stadium were workmen. It was rekindled a minute or two later by a plumber named Pierre Bouchard with a cigarette lighter and a rolled up newspaper.
