Torch lightens small towns with Olympic flame across America
The Olympic flame travels through rural towns with a Norman Rockwell glow as communities rally. A fuel spill near Gramercy, Louisiana dumps 300,000 gallons of gasoline into a swamp, forcing a 15 mile detour and delaying the relay. Louisiana police caution against passing the flame through contaminated areas.
