Скачать или смотреть NBC News Overnight: Pan Am Flight 759 Crash in New Orleans (July 9, 1982)

Pan Am Flight 759 was a regularly scheduled domestic passenger flight from Miami to San Diego, with en route stops in New Orleans and Las Vegas. On July 9, 1982, the Boeing 727 flying this route crashed in the New Orleans suburb of Kenner after being forced down by a microburst shortly after takeoff. All 145 on board, as well as eight people on the ground, were killed.

NBC News Overnight was a television news program on the NBC television network that aired weekday mornings from 1:30 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. (12:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. Central) Mondays through Thursdays and 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. (1:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Central) Fridays from July 5, 1982, to December 3, 1983, for 367 telecasts. The program was noteworthy because during this era, a large majority of TV stations signed off between 1 and 3 a.m., with those few stations that operated 24 hours a day at the time either running syndicated shows and/or old movies.
