Ceausescu's last public appearance on 21 Dec 1989. Suddenly the rally gets
into panic, for still unknown reasons. This is the video tape from the OB
van or its feed, the live transmission on TV had been interrupted until
Ceausescu resumed his speech.
22 Dec 1989, about 40 minutes after Nicolae und Elena Ceausescu left
Bucharest by helicopter: A crowd gets into studio 4 of TVR, a set for
newscasts with bluebox graphics. Heavy dispute with TV staff because the
crowd suspects the TV people to fool them. Command from the director in
the control room and ...
... on they are.
First appearance of Ion Iliescu.
Securitate officer supports the revolution.
Emotional address by Casimir Ionescu, now a politician.
Police officer.
Army officer.
Nico Ceausescu brought forward, reportedly after being seriously injured.
Detailled address by Ion Iliescu, super "Free TV of Romania" which just
did not fulfil since Iliescu later, as president of Romania, kept TVR as a
propaganda mouthpiece.
Alleged "terrorist" brought forward on 23 Dec. In the evening of 22 Dec
1989 shootings started, most of the victims have been killed at a point
when the Ceausescu government had already been overthrown. "Terrorists"
have been blamed for this. Basically the whole matter is still a mystery.
If you want to see more: A good amount of the TVR afternoon/evening
broadcasts from 22 Dec 1989 is on Youtube, in 20 parts, under the title
"Revolutia Romana la TV". In the last ones one can see how the shootings
and fire-raisings took place in front of TVR's live cameras, too.
And from now you have 18 hours left to officially view the documentary
"Videogramme einer Revolution" online:
