Fun fact: no one has even seen the pitch actually drop - they had a camera set up to catch the ninth drop in 2014 but it fell during a server outage. You can watch a live feed of the tenth drop!

I got a 403, but I'm on mobile, maybe it's only viewable on PC? I'll have to check tomorrow

Worked on Firefox Android for me, just had to say it was OK to access without https

Yeah I'm on Firefox Android too, still giving me an error. I'll have to do more testing on it this afternoon
Edit: does not work on desktop either :(

That's the most interesting wikipedia entry I've read in a good long while.

I went out of my way to see this during one of their open days, it's as interesting in person as you'd expect.
