This is a surprisingly common phenomenon amongst the truly suicidal. It's the elation of knowing their suffering is nearing its end... by force. If you know someone who has been badly depressed for some time and they then quickly appear to have turned over a new leaf for no discernable reason, i.e. going from isolationism to being a social butterfly overnight, you should brace yourself for bad news. While I believe strongly that suicide is the (literal) ultimate act of selfishness and should be avoided or averted at _any_ cost, that's me and how I choose to live. If an individual believes theirself to have so little agency or control over their own life, lives daily in unbearable pain whether physical or emotional, or is facing a hopeless future with no or next to no alternatives available to them (like terminal illness, prolonged incarceration, or irreconcilable incompatibilities between their own life-state and their environment), then suicide becomes not just a viable option, but the _only_ option. In such cases, *it is not our place to intervene.* Suicide is a horrible, selfish end for many, but *it is not our right to force life upon those unwilling to live it.*
Yea ok In her final words Chubbuck says how she’ll keep in the practice of the “immediate and complete reports of local blood and guts”. While it can be considered as a sick quip, it can also be seen as satirical commentary on the exploitation of violence in the media. How many times do we hear horrible things occurring on the news over the positive? Whether for some entertainment or some instinctual reason it’s human nature to be drawn to morbid things. And so in a way, she is proving herself right time and time again since we are here, choosing to click on a video that is meant to display the last moments of a grisly suicide. Her death continues to be a subject of interest, and there are still people that seek to find the real footage. She criticized how people continue to seek morbid things, and here we are proving it.
@@rucianapollard7098 but im guessing anyone in her mind would feel some sort of worryness knowing your about to end your own life despite remaining calm. But im not one to speak about this stuff, just a guess. Rip to anyone lost to suicide.
@@rucianapollard7098 No she doesn't, she even fumbled a couple of words which is unusual for a news reader. She's definitely going fast, especially when she goes off script knowing her colleagues might cut her off.
She said "attempted suicide"... Even weirder. It was clear she would not survive a shot to the head. I think it was a cry for help - but why choose to shoot yourself in the head then? Who the fuck attempts suicide with a gun and with the intention not to die?
She made a great point with this. Violence is a big attraction on television, and the same goes for cinema. If we are being honest, we have to admit that negativity is what the general audiences love to consume. She was sick of that and gave everyone what they wanted.
As horrific as this tragedy is, human beings focus naturally on the negative because it can impede us from our daily tasks, like bad weather or a car accident on a highway are negative events but are sometimes necessary to know about if you live within the general area and maybe even travel along the same highway. Regardless, what happened to Christine was an absolute tragedy and my heart goes out to her remaining living relatives who had the privilege to know her.
She isn't commenting on the violence in fictional television/cinema, she's commenting on the exploitation of violence in news programming. This is a product of her disillusionment with the news industry after being hired as a newscaster and being assigned violent crimes as stories.
We can't get enough of violence and death, yet we treat sex and lust almost as living cancers while secretly indulging in them behind closed doors. The influence of the poison of religion suppressing natural human desires and fanning the flames of hatred and many are two faced supporting the ideology in public then surrounding themselves in it in secret
There's nothing wrong with violence in fiction. She was clearly against news stations exploiting tragedies for viewership, nothing to do with TV and Cinema

@@factsmachine0I think you might be the "regarded" one. Have you never heard of sampling? That song is an extreme metal track, if you knew anything about metal you'd know that bands like Carcass, Cannibal Corpse and Mortician have used samples similarly in their music. That song was released after this video was put up, and I don't even know why you would think that a band would fake something like this for an unrelated song.
I’m pretty sure this is legit, the whole thing is entirely Christine’s voice. Good god, she’d already voiced her disapproval of the ‘if it bleeds, it leads’ protocol of her station. All her stories were violent crime. God bless her, I hope she is at peace now.
@@christopherfoote4643 I’d rather believe in a god who promotes peace than one who punishes people for something they don’t deserve when they were already suffering so much in life. So yes, I like to believe people who offed themselves are at rest.
I apologize, I didn’t mean to start a religious argument with my comment, all I Can say is, I hope Christine is at peace and I believe she is. Any God that condemned her to hell for her actions, while obviously mentally ill, isn’t the one I pray to. I respect all of your beliefs, but just had to voice my opinion on this, god bless all of you, and Christine, and I believe she is in heaven, with the Lord, now, I know she is. Rest In Peace Christine.
Jesus, the moment I heard the words "blood and guts coverage" my stomach churned knowing that was the beginning monologue to an actual suicide just seconds later. Even if I do have my doubts as to the legitimacy of this recording, it's still damn crazy to hear. Rest in Peace.
This absolutely IS legit. I've heard her voice before (I believe it was during another broadcast where she was shown on tv.) I understand why you'd truly want to doubt the veracity of the audio. So harrowing and so matter-of-fact.
@@Moja421 It's from the TV station Christine worked at. They released it a while after the event, but just the audio. I believe the video was either destroyed or is locked away somewhere. It is indeed real. Maybe try to GOOGLE it? It's so sad and harrowing.
@@deftoneslover I've read and heard from more than one source that there is no tape of it. that technology was in its early stages at the time and they didn't save very much footage from the earlier decades
You hear her hesitate between "local" and "blood and guts news" and I wonder if that's the last moment she has to stop herself but felt she had to go through with it. She didn't hesitate through any of the other monologue...just that moment. It was so fast...she clearly was prepared and thought things out according to what they said she left for the production team to say after she did this. That's lot of pain she must've been in. My heart aches for her and her family.
She didn't hesitate through "any of the other monologue" because she's reading a teleprompter all the way up until that part. I guarantee she wasn't rethinking her entire plan or feeling pressured to go on with it in that split second that she took a breath. You're projecting.

You mean the same video you can now see on RU-vid? Cause that wasn’t the real video. It’s been confirmed a fake, which is why you can find it on YT. Best gore never had the video as it hasn’t been released.
I didn't expect her to pull the trigger so fast, that caught me off guard. I heard about the story so many times that I expect her to take a few seconds to pull the trigger after what she said, not immediately. Good lord this is some of the most scariest things I've ever heard. And one of the most saddest things.
She probably did it fast to not lose her nerve and to not risk someone rushing up to stop her. I think- in the Bud Dwyer tape, he wanted to say more when he took the gun out, but people started approaching so he quickly shot himself.

@@ericcarrluvr see i thought so too. it's a small chance, but we never thought we'd get the full audio either, and if THAT leaked, who knows? i hope not though. i really hope not.
@@ericcarrluvr Not to be rude but; that isn't accurate. In 2016, the widow of the former owner of WXLT news has a copy and claimed they will not ever release it out of respect for Christine, her family, and her friends. Whether it was ever leaked though, I don't know.
I was obsessed with this case for a while. I researched Christine's history and everything. It seems to me that she wanted to live in the television. You know she when to 4 colleges in 4 years. This is rare, and every time she went to a bigger and better college until she landed in NYU (when NYU was a big deal and not just accepting anyone who was willing to pay their tuition). Then she got a summer television internship. Soon after that she worked in TV, I think in Pittsburgh, then moved to Sarasota, FL and got into computers for a few years until she got back into TV in that area. She was not good at getting men, she had a rush on a camera guy at her studio but he was dating another woman at that studio and they kept the relationship secret because they knew Christine was "sensitive". Christine baked this guy a cake for his birthday. When Christine found out that she was not most likely not going to have a baby after the age of thirty, then finding out about her camera guy crush dating her friend, she bought a gun, learned how to use it, then used the gun on herself. Her family knew she was suicidal, Christine's suicide was a common topic she talked about with her mother (her parents divorced when Christine was a kid). If the audio exists the video exists. July 14, 1974.
@@miscellaneousmedia3753 That is true. A sad state of affairs it is. Not to get too dark, but maybe because most men who attempt suicide succeed. Women don't mostly, so they get attention and their story told. When a man commits suicide he's already dead and thr family is splitting up his assets. I agree with you. Even Christine Chubbock said "...attempted suicide" before she pulled the trigger. That fact always messed with me, like she didn't think she was going to die, like it was all fake like TV is fake.
i hope she gets the peace and the partner she deserved somewhere. apparently she was very depressed about her relationships (or lack thereof) and honestly such a thing would make anyone depressed. she took things into her own hands. so many creepy people talking about her being a virgin and her appearance in this comment section though. like wtf can’t we just respect the woman?
Yo homie, she's DEAD dawg. There is NO "other side" or another world beyond this one. Once you gone, you gone. Stop trying to comfort yourselves by imagining up afterlives and assorted nonsense. Face reality.
@@BlueSkyCountry there’s no proof that an afterlife of some kind doesn’t exist, just as there is no proof that it does exist. Nobody knows anything, so stop acting as if you do.
It’s so chilling…she’s so casual about it, one moment she’s talking about the news, the next she’s reading lines that sound out of a creepy pasta…and the shot. It’s so unreal it hurts…
She was casual because people in general are just as casual about suicides. She tells people she wanted to die and they all automatically think she's just kidding. As if nobody alive could ever possibly be serious about suicide! 😂 No one gives a darn who lives and who dies, by the time anyone does give a darn it's way too little too late, that to me sounds like a pretty casual attitude the human species has on suicide🤣🤣🤣

If I’m totally honest, I hope the footage is never found. No one needs to see what happened to her. It would be a heartbreaking and traumatizing video to witness
Yes. The Kennedys and Malcolm X and MLK being assassinated and the gory OD deaths of four members of the 27 Club (B Jones, J Hendrix, J Morrison & J Joplin) plus all the Kent State, Manson family, Altamont, civil rights, riots and Vietnam blood and guts seem to have turned some people cold as stone by the 70s. Chubbock still beat the clock, because 1974 was the year Ted Bundy was in his serial killing prime. She missed that horror show and the 100 other active serial killers in the mid 70s.
She was in a really bad mental state. I think she also was dealing with the news that she couldn't physically have kids. I don't know if that's the main reason, but a lot of stuff was building up for her. I feel like finding the video will just not give her peace. She deserves the little peace she has now.
Honestly, I think the loud sound the gun made was what shocked me the most, we're so used to only hearing shots on movies and the sounds are edited in, that the real sound of a gun firing almost sounds like a cannon
No way that sound was a handgun. If you listen to people who have been near or involved in a real shooting and they all say it sounds like a popping or firecrackers.
@@ahhh...5765 ...What? Gun sounds depend on the caliber and where it's fired, the girl was in a chambered room so it sounded way louder. It's definetly a handgun, and even if it wasn't, the sound it made can be created by one
@@leoortiiiz Agree mostly. Point of contention....she used a .38 spl. Even given it was a short-barreled revolver, no way that sound came from that gun.
@@forevernow9459 I simply but strongly disagree. I actually stutter in my everyday life 😆 and that’s not even a stutter. A slight but natural vocal block, sure. But this woman shows zero true hesitation leading up to the shot in my opinion.
I believe she raised the gun to her head just as she said “attempted suicide”. That would explain why the gunshot happens so quickly after she finishes speaking. Of course, we won’t know for sure until we see the video.
@@annsky1896 Only what I have stated. The video was run to the time it was faded to black by the technician. It was so cut and dry that anyone seeing it will not glean much by her voice or expression. But I will say again that this event was seen beyond the local area. They were an ABC affiliate and I believe it was beamed while playing the tape to one or other stations and shown simply because she was not killed instantly and would hold on for another 14 hours. After the brother got an injunction to stop any rebroadcast that day it was not ever shown again. If the station I saw it on were found few there I believe would remember the rebroadcast or would deny that it ever was. I know better for I saw it twice that day before she died.
It was chilling to hear that final line, I've heard it read so many times in so many lost media videos, but actually hearing it is an entirely different thing.

Sounds like an audio-cassette recorded off the tv speaker. Whether it was recorded during the live broadcast, or viewing the station tape on a monitor, is unclear. What it definitely isn't is an audio rip from the tape. If the video exists, it's either on Umatic or Quad, and may not even be playable anymore due to degradation.
The family filed for it to not be released. I'm assuming the lawfirm leaked the audio but not the initial taping. A few fakes have surfaced but they do not match up with this audio. The camera was a quad and the film is likely gone which means this is all we have. It's sad that not much of her broadcasts made it to the internet. I hear she took pride in her work and actually made Sun Coast a worthy segment for the 9am time slot. Also she honestly didn't look bad at all. She has a jewish look and in that era would come off as masculine. A bit of makeup from the 2000 gen would literally make her stunning. Also back then bright colored makeup would have clashed against her facial structure.
@@sophie9521 How is that weird? People including her crush called her masculine. She wasn't masculine at all just not experienced in doing makeup or getting her hair professionally taken care of.
As someone with depression who, like Christine, struggles with finding/keeping relationships and friendships, I really do understand that hopeless and utterly alone feeling that she must have been going through. It's sad, seeing how mental health was treated back then, but to look on the brighter side of things, we have come leaps and bounds since the 60's/70s when it comes to treating mental health. It's always hard thinking about all the people who died in the past for reasons that can be dealt with now. Hopefully this audio is enough closure for the people who were only really interested in the true crime aspect of her death. I would still like to have the video itself released, purely to have this piece of history archived. I don't think I could bring myself to watch the video if it does make it's way to the public. I hope Christine is in a better place now. At the very least, she is no longer suffering.
Leaps and bounds in mental health - not a chance. I have been in the system 30 years, the system now - is primitive, cold, even evil. I have had a literal hell of a time with mental health professionals. I have been to 8 hospitals, 50 therapists, 50 psychiatrists, and just as many outpatient programs all over the US, so I am qualified to say this. It's a farce. The field has become a joke.🔥
The video should not be released, won’t somebody please think about the children? It never fails. Kids can end up accidentally looking for this kind of stuff online.

Definitely have come leaps and bounds since the 60s/70s. Now the solution is to pump people with SSRIs and pray they don't go on a massive shooting spree.
Yet too many retarded kids out there today saying they are depressed when they are not. I have severe clinical depression, it is not just cured by watching A video, hearing A song, etc. Its very rare I ever feel happy. I want to die most days, and I'm on meds and in therapy all I feel is pain and agony.

@@mural8639 believe it or not, suicide is not cowardly. its not a persons fault they cannot deal with life anymore to the point where they have to take their own life. saying it like that makes victims look like cowards when they were not, they simply could not handle the pain anymore.
My post below IN NO WAY encourages anyone to hurt themselves or anyone else. Still... YT made me edit some words & sentiments here. I don't write a lot of commentary, so I'm going to try to make the changes I think YT wants me to make without changing the overall message: I've heard that as well - "self is a coward's way out." To that I say: The fuck do you know about courage? It takes exactly zero courage to trash the mindset of a self person. YOU are the coward. YOU didn't have the courage, let alone the time or effort to help that person ease their pain. I say it takes tremendous courage to do such an irreversible, powerful act, repellant as it may be to you. Shit, I have my own pain - both emotional and physical - I want more than anything else to be free of this pain. Both pains keep getting worse by the day. And all that keeps me from curing myself is the LACK of COURAGE. This is my opinion, and mine alone. The day my pain > my fear --> my courage > my pain. Then I can finally and be released from this torture. So these ignorant, unaware, self-righteous people who say "self is a coward's way out" can take their sanctimonious platitudes and shove them waaaay up their asses, where the rest of their arrogance is kept. By the way: If you say this to a self-prone, depressed person (or just within earshot), you risk your entire relationship with them, because in that moment, you show them just how little you care about them and how insignificant you find their pain to be. Basically, if you utter these (or similar) words, you are a shit friend. Try instead to help your friend by talking to them on their level, and if you can't be bothered to do that, seek the help of someone who can/will. This is (I believe) a pretty important message, so I hope the powers that be do not see fit to erase it. -just my humble opinion. Just an opinion. Try not to freak out.

@@Schnipp08 I lived in N.J. Still do. Despite what you may have read someone made a or copies of the event and it was shown on local news stations in this area that day with a warning. After July 16th it was not seen again for obvious reasons. I personally don't need to see it again. It is rather mild for it's content but none the less heartbreaking to see her do this to herself. We waited for continuing reports of her condition for almost a day until she finally succumb to her injuries. Life is precious and she was so young. I guess that is why it is so fresh in my memory. I have also known people close to me to have committed suicide and nearly been there myself if it weren't for the grace of GOD.

once she got to the restaurant robbery, I got chills all down my body, knowing what was coming next. My brain kept panicking, almost as if there was someway to stop it, to tell her not to do it. And only once that shot rang out did it become inexplicably clear that I just listened to someone's last words before they took their own life. Something I had thankfully never experienced before and hopefully never experience again. If there's an afterlife, I hope you've found peace Christine.

There is an afterlife and Jesus proved it by defeating death. Confirming he is who he claimed to be. The son of God, savior and Lord. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life thru Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except thru Him.

She was a volunteer in a local hospital making puppet shows to the medically handicaped children, she was a sweet and big hearted woman. I wish she was still alive. I cant imagine the poor Children that loved her seeing that she died...
I remember this. Not much was known about treating depression back then or stopping suicide. She had been given help her whole life and warned people she was about to kill herself. But no one dreamed she would do it on air. How sad.

You hear no screaming because around that time came out prop guns that could dispense prop blood. The producers thought she used one. One of the producers actually said “very funny”, before discovering her head bleeding out from the right.
The reaction at the end is of the person second-hand recording the audio from the video footage by the way...not part of the video itself. When you hear "Oh, man." that is the reaction of the person getting us this audio.
After years and years of reading her final words...I wasn't prepared to actually hear them. I wish Christine could have found another way. May she rest in peace.
How could she sound so calm? I don't blame her for her frustration of having to broadcast such awful news pieces. She had so many problems. Poor thing. She didn't need to report this crap every day. She said she wanted to work on human interest stories instead. She made a real statement with her final words and action.
@@rucianapollard7098 That's true, and good point, however, when you are about to blow your head off, it's possible that could change toward the end. And she did stumble a few times, actually.
Rest in Peace, Christine. Such a beautiful soul, just being misunderstood by 1970s society which didn't understand about psychology and mental health awareness.
@@RubberWilburI think they meant it was more taboo to speak on it back then Not to mention, people were still figuring stuff back, so there’s no guarantee that was a good psychologistz
She was nothing more than a product of Darwinism. You didn’t know her. She could’ve been a raging bitch. Certainly was severely mentally Ill. No reason to mourn her.
I remember when first being told of this story, I dismissed it as a hoax. I didn't remember any such incident happening. A few years later, I read an account of it - somewhere, I just don't remember where I read it - and thought "Omg. It REALLY happened." I showed my mom the story. Then my mom hits me in the gut. She says "Look at the date it happened. Then you'll know why we didn't hear of it." You see, on July 14, 1974, the day before the incident, my dad had died of lung cancer. You can only bet I was in no mood to watch ANY TV for any reason. My dad was only 45 years old. I was only 14. And yet still, I don't remember of hearing of this incident - understandably, I think. But still, kinda amazed I didn't hear of it right away.
@@paulglover6525 everyone would have known her name is they reported it like they did columbine but nope, her family just had to C-block her dying wish. it took a movie I randomly came across in order to know about this story.
Poor woman. This reminds me so much of when I was a kid. I was home sick from school. I was laying on the couch watching a rerun of Three's Company and there was a special report. On came some rambling politician. I had a fever so I wasn't really listening to his drivel. He talked for 20 minutes or so, so I think I dozed off. When I opened my eyes this guy was still on TV rambling. When he finished he passed out envelopes to a few guys, pulled out a revolver. Put it in his mouth and pulled the trigger. I couldn't fucking believe it. Later I found out who he was and what he allegedly had done. As an adult I looked into his story and realized this guy was ruined as a scapegoat and finally broke. Sorry for the Tangent. Rest in peace Christine. To anybody struggling? Suicide is NOT the answer.
let me tell you when you are like me and all you feel is agony 24/7 and endless panic attacks and the terror is so great you feel the only way out is death, sometimes it is the answer. There are people in this world with physical conditions so agonizing and there is NO CURE. So they have to kill themselves. Euthanasia.
@@brokengirl8619 Mostly about mental illnesses. depression, anxiety, having a bad day. I've had maaaany suicide attempts and it gets tiring hearing that "suicide isn't the answer" or I don't feel shocked when someone is concerned about me, but I just live anyways and so far its not bad.
RIP man, as much as I'm into lost media, I hope certain things like the video are never ever found, rest in peace. If you're going through something, seek help. It isn't a bad thing, it's a great thing, you're loved. Take Care.
I would only want to see it to see what everyone she worked with did. How they reacted because the movie implied they didn't think it was real at first. That it was a trick or a prank.
Suicidal people are usually good people who in most cases were so nice, they're missed dearly, most homicidal people could never kill their self. One is selfless and the other is selfish. They're both horrible, because in both cases they leave a lot of people grieving. I hate guns. I hate guns. I hate murder. I hate abuse and abusive people. If I could change the world. Do you ever imagine hearing God say at the end of a day that today was a good day? Its sad to think about the grief God must be feeling.
damn she must have going through so much with her deprssion, relationship struggles, and other things that she was going through. god bless her and i hope she's in a better place now
Wow she really thought that through. You can tell she ran it in her head so much that the real thing was just so easy for her. So calm it’s insane, but depression can do crazy things.
It's so tragic seeing a promising, beautiful, young woman take her own life. I read that it was a combination of the constant reporting of horrible news along with her love life being non-existent that she spiraled into deep depression. Regardless, I wish she would've gotten the help she needed.
This is insane if its actually real. Ive always been so interested in lost media and this has always had such a cult like status. Everyone knew about it but nobody knew if it would be heard or saw. I remember fakes being made and people having to debunk them. I legit never thought I would actually hear it
@@chrissalynn4276This is very much real. I recall when this first leaked Christine's brother tried to get the audio taken down. Unfortunately for him the audio spread to quickly for it to be contained.
@chrissalynn4276 The real tape and audio does still exist. The man who owned the TV/radio station at which the incident happened inherited it and when he passed away passed it on to his wife who handed it over to a large law firm for safekeeping. The wife claimed that she has no plans to make it available to the public. And even if there was a lawsuit to release it, it'll most likely come to nothing due to the nature of the content and due to having been stored within a secure law firm that will not under any circumstances allow it to be released without the party involved who put it there for the expressed purpose that it never be shown to anybody or released.
I almost find it more disrespectful to destroy her footage. I mean she chose to kill herself to make a point about the News' obsession with "blood and guts". She gave up her life to make a point and record it for the World to see. They just throw it in the trash like they did with her feelings? I would understand not releasing it to the public, but at least save copies for anyone related to her or at least for archival history.
The modern news world could learn a lot from Christine's beliefs, but unfortunately all these years later it seems her message hasn't been heard. Rest in Peace.
She felt unloved. She did not receive the care, compassion and understanding someone with depression needs. She really was failed by those around her. She had voiced her feelings, no one listened.
Her parents spent hundreds of thousands of dollars over a decade on treatments to try and help her, but we just didn't know much about depression (and alleged by her brother, bi-polar) so nothing helped for long. The people around her did everything they could.
she had a sense of humor about it, and took the piss out of the station selling blood and guts to the public. THis is what you folks at home want to see, right?
"if it bleeds, it leads." heard it quite a lot as a journalism student, albeit sometimes said rather sardonically. things haven't changed. people will always have morbid curiosity and that's not necessarily a bad thing, but the exploitation aspect of it is. i no longer have a desire to work in broadcast and haven't for quite some time for similar reasons. it's a depressing ass job having to constantly be reminded of all the bad in the world and as someone with depression, i'd rather have peace of mind. just wish it could have been the same for her. this story will always haunt me. always. she was beautiful, driven and seemed nice enough.
Here from "The Darkest Lost Media [Vol. 1]". I think the part that puts me on edge is the audible exhale you hear right after the shot. It's proof that it's legit more than anything (don't ask me how I know that). Not excusing her actions, but this is an obvious result of both the environment of the time, and perfectly lined-up individual circumstances. In a way it was kind of inevitable, and more or less another push for safety protocols in modern media. My condolences to her family, but it doesn't make it any less fascinating.
Christ, that gunshot stopped my heart. But even more upsetting is that I can faintly hear what sounds like gasping. I don't know if it's the last breath leaving her body or an onlooker reacting with shock. Either way, I couldn't unhear it.
