Malfunction snuffs out Olympic Torch for the first time

The flame went out due to a malfunctioning burner. It is not uncommon for a flame to go out and this can happen for a number of reasons, for example, in extreme winds. A replacement torch was brought out from the convoy of vehicles and was lit from the mother flame. We keep the mother flame in specially designed miners' lanterns so if the flame does go out for some reason on the relay we relight it from the source of the flame.
