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.

In 1975 a young woman named Lesley Whittle was kidnapped here in the Uk and it was all over the news. They kept showing photo fits of her kidnapper and they nicknamed him 'the Black Panther' because of the clothes he wore. I was 7/8 at the time and for some reason this story caught my imagination and scared me quite a lot!

@RubySoo She was found in a park near where I grew up. It scared us all too.
