In keeping with Channel 40s policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts and in living color, you are going to see another first -- attempted suicide. These last words were said by Anchorwoman Christine Chubbuck, who, on July 15, 1974, during technical difficulties during a broadcast, said these words on-air before producing a revolver and shooting herself in the head (While she drew the gun on camera, the technicians quickly cut the video feed, but the gunshot could be clearly heard). She was pronounced dead in hospital fourteen hours later.
