Everything was made fresh, made their own dough too was my understanding. To those young people reading this, you have no idea how good that pizza was. The whole atmosphere of the restaurant was cool too. The lighting, the brick walls, red/white checkered tablecloths, red plastic glasses and the sit-down Pac Man arcade game, an unreal experience.

This was from a Saturday evening, January 23, 1982.

The plane actually broke in two. Most people survived, but two people disappeared into the water and were presumed dead.

@@10.11.9 Pizza Hut 🍕 was the bomb, nothing even came close.

I really want some Pizza Hut!

"We interrupt these commercials for a special report" Today, in the name of the almighty advertising dollar they'd wait until the show comes back on.

This WAS the time to eat a Pan Pizza at Pizza Hut they were good then. How far they have fallen. You can blindfold yourself and pick a frozen pie at random at your grocer and do better.

*Ahhh yes! . . . the 80s and the 90s...when women ACTUALLY "needed" men.*

Well... there's 3 min I'll never get back.

Two and one half minutes of commercial for the half minute special report. The video should be titled, "CBS commercials."

I learned to scroll ahead on these videos anymore. So much clickbait out there these days, as you get older you learn these things. Another way to tell if its gonna be clickbait or not, is to scroll down & scan the comments. Usually someone will post the word clickbait so that should help.

@Flame Resistant Troll not really useless if it persists to the subject.

Moonerfury, they didn't "wait" to show the commercials before breaking in - the uploader just rolled tape a few minutes before the report. Also this was the Logan accident, not he Washington crash which happened 10 days earlier, and was far more serious.

Wow they still used That special report graphic from the 70s in 1982.

They finally changed to a different one in 1983.

Compared to today's Pizza Hut, give me the good old days.

Wow it looks like real pizza. Sad how many things have gone to hell in a hand basket

Further back than this "Special Report" there use to News Bulletin. One of the oldest I remember was the sinking of the submarine, the Thresher, about 1963.

The plumber for Roto Rooter: “So the next time you have a problem, remember this!” (screws finger into the air!”)

I’m from Boston and remember when this happened …..I was outside using a snowblower when my sister came outside to tell me what had happened……we had a snowstorm but was mostly ice at Logan

Back when Pizza Hut had the market cornered. Now can't find one anywhere.

A few days after this happened I took the written exam to enter the Navy as an officer candidate/pilot. The test was given at the old shipyard in South Boston. There were about twelve of us candidates in the classroom and right out the window across the channel was the DC-10 still sitting there, off the runway, it's nose broken off and partially in Boston Harbor. Kind of ironic.

The Mercury Lynx was just a re-badged twin to the Ford Escort which in its early years had a lot of problems.

True, the early 1981-83 Escorts were rubbish, 1984 got better, but the 1985-90 versions were reliable little cars.

Special Report! You knew something was about to go down!

The actual report is at about 2:35 but the commercials are well worth the wait.

ah it wasn't too long! And that Roto Rooter jingle, I didn't know it was around then!

Pizza 40 years ago was truly a great thing. I remember a food court pizza chain, Pietro's that was at Hulen and Ridgmar Malls in Fort Worth, Texas. You could get it by the slice (or the whole pie). It was so good! Domino's was much better then also.

I remember eating pan pizza and they had beer too, at a sit down Pizza Hut!!

This same bumper was used when they broke in during the CBS late movie (The Rockford Files) to announce John Wayne's death in 1979 also.

Not to nitpick, but in the interest of accuracy, I thought graphics (visual) were called "slides" while "bumpers" referred to *audio*.

I also recall John Wayne's death as part of a Special Report past the 10 p.m. news. A vague recollection of my dad watching a "Bonanza" rerun on our ABC affiliate when ABC News broke in. Channel 13 Houston, TX

John Wayne died in 1977....

This is back when you could order a pizza and sit down and eat at a Pizza Hut. You can't do that anymore.

So many things were better back then good old days

It’s now 2022… 4 decades ago.

Anyone besides me wishes that Pizza Hut still made pizza like that again?

That's when Pizza Hut was good!

How ironic that this came into my algorithm when I’m staying at the Embassy Suites near Boston Logan international LMAO

Notice how they didn't immediately go on air and speculate for three hours?

Back when they actually reported the news without any of their own comments or political slant.

No you just didn't realize it at the time

Man I remember that. Tragic.

I don't know if planes are safer now, or we are all just oblivious, but it seems like there were alot of plane crashes when I was little in the 70s. I remember so many of them.

I used to stick my fingers in my ears and run from the room if I heard a "Special Report" lol 😆 I was only 6!

They used two types, the one you mention when the network broke in and showed the anchor and the video of the story. This one was mainly used for audio reports. Some stations in the US were still using film and long range video didn't take hold fully until '85
