Rare footage from network news broadcasts

[Evan]

So although a lot of the classic TV sports broadcast footage is probably gone for good, there are some snippets that have resurfaced as part of recordings of old network news broadcasts. Here are some I've noticed, please add any of your discoveries to this list:

To see the referenced footage, you might have to scroll through the broadcast as there is lots of other stuff there too.
