Radio commentator at the wreck of the Hindenberg
"Here it comes, ladies and gentlemen,
and what a sight it is, a thrilling one,
a marvellous sight...the sun is striking the windows
of the observation deck on the westward side
and sparkling like glittering jewels
on the background of black velvet....
Oh! Oh! Oh!....It's burst into flames.....
get out of the way, please, oh my, this is terrible,
get out of the way, please, it is burning, bursting into
flames, and is falling....Oh! This is one of the worst....
Oh! It's a terrific sight....Oh! and all the humanity....."
