Network news coverage on the attempted assassination of President Reagan, March 30, 1981. It's interesting to see how different it was then, people in the background, and the sound of Teletype machines in the room. Check out time stamp 3:34, when the Secret Service jumps the shooter, someone calls him "A Mother Fuc**r", and 6:43 when ABC's Frank Reynolds looses his cool after telling everyone that Regan is OK, then only to find out he was actually hit. Also the famous news conference where Secretary of State Al Haig states that he is in charge, and misstates the presidential succession.
