Re: The Fitz - 40th anniversary
Sorry, couldn;t be here yesterday.
...but, on TV last night, there was this new channel that
debuted on Monday called "Decades" (or something like that.)
The network airs here in Phoenix on CW affilaite Channel 61 (the digital is 61.2) and not only do the yshow some older TV shows & movies but they also have a program that airs oild 'important' news stories.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was one of them covered last night. They aired the actual CBS filmed coverage from 1975! The voice over reporter stated a flare was seen in the air & the captain actually radioed this last strangley calm statement *As I recall* , "Everything's okay but were taking on a lot of water."
The also showed people finding a life raft that had flaoted the shore.
40 years, I know to most of you that saw
the news first hand...it may seem like yesterday.
