32 years ago today, A&E aired this in real time ("as it happened") on the 25th anniversary

The event happened 22 months before I was born, so I never experienced it first hand.

If you start this video at 2pm ET, it will sync up with the events from 57 years ago almost to the minute.

1. "we will report the facts only. This is no time for speculation."

2. Yup. Remember when that was actually a thing?

No we can barely tell the difference between an editorial and actual news. Everyone has a spin. Sometimes I like it sometimes I don’t. But it’s spin either way.

5. I Watched It Then

And, since. It shows up on AHC, and NatGeo now & then. I agree it's excellent.
There's another short series called "As We Watched" that is also very good. Covered 9/11, the LA riots, the Waco standoff, among others.

6. Eery to look back at the technological challenges they faced. My Mom always watched Huntley &

Brinkley, so I'd guess this is what she watched that day. They really kept it together. I'd always remembered video of Cronkite's tears so it was quite interesting to see some of the other real-time coverage.
