@BFBucky1 Yikes. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, I'm sure you all were wondering if WW3 were about to begin.
@WordsmithFL It was a long time ago. When the message came thru we were playing cards. We had a 7 man crew back in those days. Now it is just 2. We put the cards away.
@WordsmithFL They've found audio of the first several minutes of NBC coverage, including the Don Pardo announcements. David von Pein has them on his YouTube channel.
@WordsmithFL David von Pein has married it to the rest of NBC's coverage.
@poemblaze Thank you, I'll look for it ... I reconstructed CBS News coverage that day, starting at 1:30 PM EST with "As the World Turns." I've tried to upload it to YouTube, but I keep getting Viacom copyright claims. I'm uploading it now to Google Drive to see if that works.
@poemblaze Found it. Thanks for the reference. That channel and DANNOTCH'S NEWSVIDEOS have excellent collections.
I have a news history YouTube channel too, but it's more of a potpourri.
@WordsmithFL Subscribed. 👍
@WordsmithFL I was in the Air Force, a crew member at a nuclear missile launch crew. I can still feel the chill in my bones.
