How does the Olympic torch stay lit?

How do they keep the Olympic torch lit on an airplane?

  • It's say here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_torch#Summer_Olympic_Games ... that they moved it by airplane. How did they keep it lit in a confined space and was it legal?

  • Answer:

    This may answer your question in another way: Why there is NO uproar against the Australian 2000 Olympics, given the Aussie records on treating Native aboriginals are ruthless and genocidal ? But there was a dead silence maintained by the US and UK media ? And none of the European Leaders then talked about boycotting Aussies' opening ceremony ?

well its simple, they light it , walk on a plane, fly for a bit, then walk off the plane. wait no thats too crazy... sorry this is an edit but if you read what you bookmarked youll find that they extinguish the torch on the plane, however a back up lantern is used to reignite it when they land.
