Just Jack Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Oops, sorry...wrong radio broadcast. What I find interesting is the number of people that think the phrase came from that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike In Illinois Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 For those that aren't aware, the audio narration by Herbert Morrison commonly associated with the footage of the crash is played at a high speed, causing Morrison to sound high-pitched. The broadcast has been corrected and was first pkayed in 199 on WLS-AM out of Chicago. Here are a couple of references to the corrected broadcast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUVDmXvXcbk If you go about half-way down this page: WLS-AM You'll find a bit of information on this broadcast. As a child this event always fascinated me, so it was an interesting footnote to learn the initial audio was recorded slower than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
