Well, it would be funny to add 1/24th of a second at 00:00 TL in each of the timezones, but I'm afraid that would tear apart the Earth rotation ?

I'm guessing it's just added at one instant - to UTC.

Does the leapsecond get added just once (GMT  time zone) or does it happen in a 
staggered fashion at the same hh:mm:ss within each timezone?

Thanks,

That's Friday, the 29th.  The leap second doesn't happen until Sat, 30th.

I think 23:59:59 UTC is 16:59:59 PST.  UTC is 7 hours earlier than PST.
For a time-nuts list, there sure seems to be a lot of confusion. He was off a 
day, you're off an hour.

23:59:59 UTC is 15:59:59 PST
23:59:59 UTC is 16:59:59 PDT (which I assume most wall clocks are set to)
