Times Square Revelers Wore Diapers

New Year's Eve revelers in Times Square can spend up to 12 hours packed inside barricaded viewing areas, where leaving means losing their place. Organizers provide no portable restrooms, so some adults wear diapers while parents reportedly let children relieve themselves in the street. The 60-second ball drop therefore demands an entire day of waiting without reliable access to food, warmth, or toilets.
