What is the first news story you remember being broadcast on television (as a child)?

Mine was on a television like this, in black and white and it was of the assassination of JFK.

@Virgo79 LBJ knew when Cronkite started reporting the war it had been lost. The reporter knew it was a civil war and the US was not supporting the "winning" side. Cold War. Communists everywhere crap.
