Talk:CBS News special report on September 25, 1983 (1983: Doomsday)

Some random thoughts...
I made some quick fixes to address minor mistakes in this article regarding the broadcasters in Odessa/Midland in 1983. I live out here now and did at the time. I'm pretty sure I would have been at home watching TV on that fateful Sunday night. I think my parents and I would probably have huddled in the master bathroom (the only part of the house without an outside wall) and waited for whatever was to come. I don't believe there would have been many tears shed, but a lot of silent prayer, as we'd all be too shocked to do anything else—even my father who made it through a tour in Vietnam. My brother and sister would likely have been killed, as the first was in Lubbock at Texas Tech and the other in the Dallas suburbs. Ironically, some of the engineers mentioned as saving the tape from KOSA-TV would likely have gone on to live for some years that they didn't in our timeline, as that November several KOSA-TV personnel died in a private-plane crash near MAF while returning from covering high-school football playoff games.
