WMAQ-TV Coverage of the Crash of American Airlines Flight 191: The Day After
Covering the crash of American Airlines Flight 191 on 25 May, 1979 which claimed 273 lives was by far the most unpleasant assignment of my career as a broadcast journalist. Here's an extract from a WMAQ-TV newscast that aired the following day. Seen in this video, in addition to myself, are my colleagues Carol Marin, Mike Jackson and Jim Tilmon.
