What a pity that there is no video about that accident, it would have been something extraordinary for posterity. Regards from Dominican Republic.

💔😞

I was 15:when this happened, I remember hearing about it on the news. It totally freaked me out, especially since I had flown a few times myself.

11 days from now, will mark 45 years since the crash. I was 14 years old when it happened. As tragic as this accident was, it was a reminder to me, that life can throw you curve balls in an instant and to not take your life, or the life of your loved ones for granted. Tell people that you love them, tell them what they mean to you and make as many memories as possible because you don't know when their time is up. Let's honor those who have passed by making sure that we live and love to the best of our abilities ❤

Thanks for Reminding me: John Madigan, Sherman Kaplan, Len Walter, Ken Herra and the entire First Generation of WBBM

I was an AA employee at the hangar on the overnight shift. Getting my haircut and some jeans at the GAP store in Woodfield. I heard the announcement on the radio in the store that an American Airlines DC10 had crashed at O'hare. When I walked to my car, I could see the smoke about 12 miles away. When I went to work that night it was so strange and eerie! Not much work to do, just watching as they brought in body bags. Some no bigger than a lunch, maybe a hand or a head. Half of the hangar was cordoned off for about 6 months and smelled of formaldehyde. Forensic doctors were unable to identify 49 of the bodies. Remains in 7 refrigerated trailers. The unidentified remains, I was told, were flown to Los Angeles for a mass burial. A very sad and somber time! I am 70 now and it still affects me to this day. My dad was a Chicago policeman at the time and he had to be there. He also had been on duty for a crash of a plane at Midway not too long before that. United Airlines was on strike at that time so all the other carriers picked up the slack. The planes were going out heavy, (as we said), Ten Tenths full! I'm one of the people who was really there up close. Thanks!

Amazing. Every single moron who commented was retarded and wrong. Just like today.

The CBS chime is usually the top of the hour

And to this day....there are still hauntings going on around that area.Many from the trailer park reported knocks at windows and door.They go to investigate......no one would be there.One person reported a confused man on their porch.....looking for luggage....then vanished.Many pets bark at the field where it crashed.....the dogs see something that we can not.Even one haunting inside O'Hare.....a man boarding the same gate walks away and vanishes.

I'm from West Virginia, and I listen online to WBBM (780 AM and 105.9 FM) several times a day. Thanks so much for this clip.

Then Tennessee Gov. Buford Ellington Served Two Terms; 1959-1963 And 1967-1971. He Died In 1972. The Ellington Agricultural Center, Where The Tennessee Department Of Agriculture And The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Are Located, Was Named In His Memory.

What about Walter Cronkite?

I live in West Virginia and listen to it several times a day online. Posting 1-29-22.

[Mark Kellaway] I love this station. The format of WBBM 780 Chicago is all news.

My favorite news radio station in the night and early in the morning. Listening to Felicia Middlebrooks and Dale McCarren , john Altmann. Millard Hanson, Joe Cummins and also David Baum. Listening to the CBS Radio Mystery Theater on Wbbm News radio 78 hosted by Actor E.G. Marshall on the radio station 7 nights a week. To me Wbbm news radio 78 is the best all news radio station in Chicago. If you're in the Chicago listen to news and weather, sports turn to us first at Wbbm news radio 78.

Cool! 😁

I remember reading a newspaper story about Captain Lux. He was not scheduled to work May 25 and agreed to pilot 191 because another pilot wanted Friday (The crash day) off, given the following Monday was Memorial Day. The newspaper included a picture of his auto still parked at O'Hare. I myself was on an outbound CNW Commuter Train (Northwest Route) and passed through Mount Prospect less than 2 hours after the crash. I was unaware of the accident until I got home.

I was 9 years old in the back yard 29 miles away west of Ohare airport when I saw the smoke. My father that had flown extensively internationally immediately told us that's a plane. He said a plane crashed at O'Hare. He knew before the news broadcast the tragedy. What a horrible day for those poor souls and their families.

I was working in Elk Grove Village the day that happened. I remember looking out the window and just seeing black smoke. Not knowing what has happened yet. I lived about 10 minutes from there and it took me at least two hours to get home. Very very sad day rest in peace flight 191

My belief is the violence that erupted after Dr. King's murder was not just because of that, but because of the world. Think about it . . . there was a war going on in Vietnam, millions of people were protesting it. I think by the time Dr. King was killed, the world was fed up and people took to the streets.

Many of these sounders were used by other CBS-owned or CBS-affiliated all-news stations through the 1970's, including (among other) WCBS-AM in New York.

Love it!

Actually the broadcast of the shooting of Bobby Kennedy came from Mutual Radio. Not CBS Radio.

Trivia one of the main local people investigating this and the lead police detective in the Gacy case were brothers. (I worked for a company owned by the police officer and his wife.)

I am pretty sure it was 258 passengers not 257 13 crew members not 15 2 on the ground

"the" - there have been two 191s

The opening sounder was used on KQV (1410 in Pittsburgh) when it was all-news and CBS-affiliated. It still is all news, but is with ABC News Radio.

Dan Rather is garbage as of this day. I was watching a Jane Elliot video and she said that she heard Dan Rather saying some ignorant garbage to black people he interviewed after this assassination.

Steve - do you know if isolated audio of the "breaking news" sound clip exists anywhere? I've searched for it for some time now, and have never found it. Just interested in having it to listen to as a historical piece (much like some of the other WBBM bumpers I've heard on RUclips), not to use it for anything.

These sounders were also used in Seattle on KIRO Newsradio 710.

This station still exists ..I'm from Chicago I remember...I lived this moment...the day Chicago died

CONSPIRACY IDIOTS ARE SO STUPID!

Dan Rather has always been a great journalist!

Today, I heard the news story on Newsradio 78 about the baker who refused to make a cake for a homosexual wedding.Here are my comments. Several years ago I went to look for an apartment in a 2 flat. The owners were homosexuals who would live upstairs. I would not be comfortable in that situation and so I found another place to live not far away. But reverse the situation, if I was the landlord and I would not be comfortable renting my upstairs apartment to two homosexuals, then I could be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Yesterday I heard almost the same story-a baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a homosexual wedding is going to be prosecuted for discrimination. Something doesn’t seem right. I see discrimination against someone because of his skin color, his religious beliefs or his ethnicity, but not because of his choice of a lifestyle. -- Bruce Sutchar 5972 Danby Court Hanover Park, IL 60133

This video was originally produced as a multi-projector presentation shown at a black-tie 65th anniversary party at Preston Bradley Hall, the ornate ballroom at Chicago's Cultural Center. The event marked the 65th anniversary of the station and the 20th anniversary of it providing All News content. The historical audio track was produced by Chris Witting and Abby Polonsky and voiced by Charles Osgood. A companion book marking the 65th anniversary of the station was written by Chuck Schaden and given to guests that evening.

The news sounder at the start is my work email sound.

See that America? Catastrophic plane crash, Identifiable aircraft parts in the wreckage and Black Box quickly found! Just like the Pentago...... oh hang on!.

that breaking news bumper sounds like the open to cbs news special reports in the 80s that were special presentations such as a presidential address

Lovely Promo video.

:30 is really sweet.

Dan Rather is very nice looking man.

Looks just like the wreckage of flight 93.

I went on a date with a woman who was at the Sears Tower observation floor when this happened. She remembers seeing the plane drop to the ground and crash. Pretty weird meeting someone who actually saw it from a view only a few people were able to see.

=[[[ RIP

One of the comments mentioned that this was before 911 was used as a universal number to reach the emergency dispatch call center. I grew up in Chicago and from a small child our parents and teachers taught us to remember our home phone number (If we had a phone) and the numbers to the Police and fire dept... If I remember right the Police Dept was (PO5-1313) The Fire Dept No# was (FI5-1313) Someone correct me if I'm wrong... I still remember my home number and my Grandmothers... Our home No# was CO7-6934 and my Granny's No# was 871-0497 all in the 312 area code... It's funny how someone can remember stuff like this after almost 50 years. With the technology these days, I doubt if kids can memorize any phone number at all... BTW...I still remember this crash like it was yesterday...I can also remember the (Lake & Wabash El Crash) in 1977 and the big snow of 67 and 79.

That is still the scariest "Breaking News" sounder in history.

RUNNING WHAT A LAUGH
