The Tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School
<p>Friday, December 14, 2012. It was a clear, crisp, and trouble-free start that morning at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Classrooms filled with kids excited for Christmas, just 11 days away. The school day started, as they always had, with a comforting routine. 9 A M, children settling into their classrooms. 9:10 A M, the pledge of allegiance. 9:15 A M, outside doors…locked. Then came 9:30 A M, when the day and the children’s innocence was shattered. On this 10th remembrance, Brian Williams shares the story as you’ve never heard it before. Told by the by the journalists who covered it, and the parents who suffered through it.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Contributors:</strong></p><p>Chris Jansing, anchor for MSNBC</p><p>Chris Hansen, former correspondent for Dateline NBC</p><p>Connecticut U S Senator Chris Murphy</p><p>Ali Velshi, MSNBC anchor, former correspondent for CNN</p><p>Nicole Hockley, parent of first grader, Dylan Hockley.

The Oklahoma City Bombing (April 19, 1995)
<p>On April 19, 1995, two years to the day following the U.S. government’s botched raid on the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, a rented truck pulled to the curb in front of the nine story Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. Inside the building, about 500 federal employees, and several hundred visitors were beginning their workday. Then, at 9:04 a.m., came the explosion which would alter the American social and political landscape.</p><p> </p><p>Contributors:</p><p>Jerry Bohnen, former KTOK News director</p><p>David Bohrman, former executive producer of special events for NBC News</p><p>Beth O’Connell, former Senior Producer, Today Show</p><p>Stewart Dan, former Chicago-based producer, Today Show</p><p>Tony Clark, former Dallas Bureau Chief and CNN Correspondent</p><p>Trace Ready, former CNN cameraman</p><p>Chris Hansen, Investigative news reporter</p><p>Stephanie Becker, former Los Angeles-based producer, NBC</p><p> </p><p>Broadcast audio licensed from CNN/WarnerMedia, CBS News, NBC News.</p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>

The Freeway Chase of O. J. Simpson
<p>He was an extraordinarily gifted athlete, the premier football player of his time, a California golden child who emerged from abject poverty to win the Heisman trophy in college and set records as a pro football running back. Effortless grace and a ready smile eased his transition from ex-athlete to corporate-backed celebrity. All of that changed on the night of June 13, 1992, when his ex-wife Nicole Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman, were found brutally murdered. Evidence gleaned from the murder site suggested that her executioner may well have been O.J. Simpson. But when police decided to arrest Simpson two days later, an even more surreal tableaux unfolded - live on national television in front of 95-million viewers. </p><p> </p><p>Contributors:</p><p>Hannah Zoey Tur, an independent helicopter reporter in Los Angeles.</p><p>Carl Stein, video journalist for KCBS, Channel 2 in Los Angeles</p><p>Diane Dimond, the investigative crime reporter for the television show Hard Copy</p><p>Steve Futterman, Los Angeles-based reporter for CBS News Radio.</p><p> </p><p>Broadcast audio licensed from:</p><p>NBC News</p><p>ABC News</p><p>Los Angeles News Service</p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
