		As a good historian should, he insists, he is going to try to vanish in the presence of his subject.
		He would not like to think that, like some spirit guide made of papier-mâché, he is now Helen's announcer, her mouthpiece, and that his dematerialisation amounts to crouching in the half-light behind a torn curtain on a rickety rail.

	Hindenburg Disaster Encyclopedia Article @ Befall.net (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The disaster is remembered partly because of extraordinary newsreel coverage, photographs, and Herbert Morrison's recorded radio witness report from the landing field.
		Parts of his report were later dubbed onto the newsreel footage (giving an incorrect impression to some modern eyes accustomed to live television that the words and film had always been together).
		Morrison's broadcast remains one of the most famous in history — his plaintive words "Oh, the humanity!" resonate with the impact of the disaster.

		Radio listeners are glued to their sets in horror on the night of March 1, 1932 as NBC and CBS broadcast a steady stream of bulletins detailing the story: the toddler son of aviator Charles A. Lindbergh has been kidnapped from his New Jersey home.
		He was the program director and chief announcer at General Electric's station WGY in the early twenties -- and he could well be considered the Father of Radio Drama.

		After keeping the Morrison statement on the spike for a while, Pravda last week printed it.

		Thus, CBS listeners in the United States got official word of the abdication before the Ministers of Parliament. On May 7, 1937, a young announcer from WLS in Chicago, Herbert Morrison, was dispatched to Lakehurst, New Jersey with recording equipment to make an archival recording of the arrival of the airship Hindenberg.
		As Morrison’s description of the dirigible’s ascent was being dutifully recorded on disc, the airship exploded into flames, and the force of the explosion briefly knocked the recording arm off the disc.
		It was locked in a box which also contained a long extension cord, giving the announcer using the equipment the ability to move around a considerable distance from the studio.

		Occasionally, the present Trade and Industry Minister, despite his modernist credentials, sounds as though he has been listening to and learning from recordings of his grandfather.
		When he talked fondly of "the family saloon car" during his speech at the Labour Party conference, he was seemingly transformed into a Fifties announcer on the Home Service.
		Lately, even some hardened cynics are wondering whether Mr Mandelson has discovered his grandfather's pragmatic view of the world because there have been signs that he is moving in a positive direction.
