Looking for a Pan Am video
Pan Am Flt. 845 took off from SFO enroute to Tokyo in 1971. They hit the approach lights at the departure end and seriously damaged the aircraft. The emergency landing was filmed by a local news crew. I can't find the video but I've seen it so I know it exists. Can anyone provide a link to that vid?
It's an interesting one. The aft body gear was damaged so after the jet came to a stop it tipped back on to its tail. The deck angle and high winds caused the forward slides to fold back against the fuselage and were rendered useless. It is a pretty incredible film.
You can read more about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Am_Flight_845

I found this googling the obvious- looks like it might be a piece of the video in question.

Local News
I lived in the Bay Area when it happened and remember it on the news. It was a very windy day. The local stations at the time were KTVU (Chan 2), KPIX (Chan 5, CBS-affiliate), and KRON (Chan 4, NBC affiliate).
KTVU is part of FOX, now I believe, but as Cub posted, I would think all would have it in archive.
845 took off from 1R but used the data for 28L (they would have made it had they used the correct data). The approach lights for 19L suposedly have never been replaced. Two pax were injured when gear struts or approach lights came into the cabin (
); one lost a leg or legs.
The Capt wanted to ditch in the Bay; the crew had to convince him they could land at the airport.
