1988 Winter Olympics Olympics Opening Ceremony 1988
During the opening ceremony of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, pigeons were released as part of a peace symbol, a tradition in Olympic ceremonies. Unfortunately, some of the pigeons landed on the Olympic cauldron and were caught in the flame when it was ignited.
