- An expanded one-hour edition of ABC News Nightline originally aired on October 6, 1981, after the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Reactions from former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger are included, among others.
Well the quality of the journalism in this video certainly puts today's journalists to shame.
We don’t have journalism anymore.
we just record a video and post it right on the internet
Agreed and so true!!
don't be like that, even back in the 80s there was terrible journalism.
Yes. This is something you will find again and again, when watching almost any bit of American television news from before about 2005, as long as the 2020s advance, unless a very unexpected (and very much needed) change happens. Some parts of social life have gotten better in my forty-odd years; the precipitous decline of American journalism (print, public radio, commercial network television, public television, cable television), especially in the last ten years, is one of the most lamentable exceptions.
Carter, Kissinger, Walters, Will, Brinkley etc. What a heavyweight panel compared to today.
Today there would be, the Kardashians, Mia Khalifa, Logan Paul and Mr. Beast.
I'm sitting here watching this like this is Brand New News... Love History before my time
The reporting is precise, consistent, and straightforward. Excellent and groundbreaking.
Despite the tragic nature of the day - and I recall it well - this coverage was outstanding. Everyone - the news people, the politicians and the subject matter experts - seemed to be a cut above those we hear from today.
watching this,, and then watching whats on CNN and FOX...good lord where did we lose our way with honest great journalism by smart people??
Yes. Journalism has gone downhill since this
Social media killed everything
16:53 - They brought President Carter into the ABCNews Atlanta studios since he lived in Georgia & this story was massive on the international stage.
Some people may forget, but when President Sadat say the gunmen he stood and faced them, rather than run away. I was 10 years old when this happened. Still remember it to this day.
Dumb move wouldn’t u say..
Ted Koppel is one of the best journalists ever. Never missed Nightlife episodes. Wish they could bring it back !
What about back then?
It is always something! Isn’t it?
It sad that this man was murdered because he wanted peace unlike the rest of the Middle East
he was a traitor to egypt second only to Sisi
Or Israel and the United States. We need a place to test our weapons.
@@alwillkIndeed, you are testing your weapons in Iraq, Syria and Palestine, and you have killed many. You are doing that
I swear the person who filmed the entire assassination deserve a medal for bravery
I thought the same thing too
I heard the person who filmed the assassination was a distant relative of Abraham Zapruder
Yeah great point mate.
exactly.
He was a Frenchman named Fabrice Massous, who was educated in Fargo, ND. Retired and living in Paris and Lisbon.
I was 17 years at the time and a Senior in high school. I remember that day because of the weather. School let out at 2:25pm. It was a bright sunny afternoon. As I boarded my bus for home , the skies suddenly grew dark and a driving rain began to fall. This lasted for about 5 minutes. Suddenly the rains stopped, the clouds disappeared, and the sun resumed shining as it had been minutes before.
I also experienced weather on that day.
I wasn't born until 1982.😊
I to remember that day it was over cast and i was home from school with a toothache. It showed the original uncut version on t v. A guy was holding up a bloody stump instead on a hand. I was 16.
My uncle was aboard a US Navy ship in the Mediterranean when this happened. He says his whole boat turned tense all at once, and then stayed that way for months.
The Doreen Kays report at 3:42 is succinct, fact-filled, relevant, and professional. Nowadays there would be lots of comments about the reporter's personal feelings, the mood, the terror, the angst, the blah blah blah. Just tell me what happened and what we know so far. Send a features reporter to do the emotional impact story after it has become more real to the populace.
Agree
Nothing he just smoked his pipe. Strange thing . Assasenation and every body trows a chair on it . Time jacky onassis. Its just propaganda to scare . Old kissinger wil gladly agree.
Like murder jamal ahmad khashoggi norhing looks like as it seems i saw 2 fllghts year 2009
there's no difference in this reporting than now. It's in your head
@@ytjepool754 your sense make no
look how Kissinger doesn't lie when he wants to tell the truth 😮
When journalism was actually journalism.
You just made me feel very old (I'm 65) LMBO 😂😂😂
It's ALWAYS been owned and run by the so called Powers That Be. They were just better at hiding it back then. The nation was also much less aware in those days. I was the perfect example of that - was gullible and naïve enough to believe everything I was told.
I'M PROUD OF BEING EGYPTIAN 🇪🇬 🇪🇬 🇪🇬
I remember watching this with my dad and then turning around during the next commercial to see an opossum tail going past our sliding glass door. Since I had never seen one before it freaked me out, so that's why I'll always remember the death of Anwar Sadat.
President Reagan wrote in his diary that night: "Most of the day’s event cancelled. Awakened at 7:25 by a phone call from Al Haig with news that Anwar Sadat had been shot along with many others. All morning we waited for news-receiving word only that he was not fatally wounded & was in surgery. Then came the word he was dead. It’s hard to describe the shock & the sorrow we both felt. Even though their visit was short we discovered we had a deep feeling of friendship for them. Maybe it has to do with a state visit. You start out with knowledge of each other & immediately get into the problems you mutually want to solve. Anyway, we both feel a great sense of loss. He was truly a great man, a kind man with warmth and humor. I’m trying not to feel hatred for those who did this foul deed but I cant make it. Qadhafi gloating on T.V., his people jubilantly celebrating in the streets. He is beneath contempt. He goes on radio (clandestine) and began broadcasting propaganda, calling for a holy war etc. before Sadats death was confirmed. This material had to have been already prepared. In other words, he knew it was going to happen."
Knowing the Americans and how untrustworthy and cunning they are Reagan could have been behind the Sadat killing.
I always liked nightline back in the 1980s and early 1990s when news used to be honest and factual. No need for fact checkers back then. They got it right or they just did not report it lol.
I believe you're speaking facetiously when you say that there were 'no need for fact checkers back then"
Check out ABC News is footage of the Reagan assassination attempt when it was reported that Reagan was not hit by a bullet and then the confusion and chaos created moments later it was reported that in fact that he was hit. There was, is and always will be a need for fact checkers in news organizations.
How do you know they had it right? And it was very hard to fact check anything then.
@Lori...because in those times...the journalists did their own fact checking and never aired anything that wasn't factual and unbiased....unlike today's sorry excuse for media....🤦
Whats checkers mean?
Are you aware that ABC News is run by space aliens? Koppel is only the most well-known of them.
How a honest is Jimmy Carter in this interview; he is absolutely straightforward
Thanx so much 4 uploading this....what a gem!
Thank you for this.
1981 was the year for assassinations, all right. In March, an attempt was made on President Reagan's life in March. In May, an attempt was made on Pope John Paul II's life (the KGB backed this attempt because Pope John Paul II supported the Polish Solidarity movement), and in October, Egyptian president Anwar Sadat was assassinated during a military review.
George H.W.Bush was behind Reagan attempt
A bullet to head and two in the middle chast area, no way he could have survived. His bodyguards were particularly slow in responding to the first sounds of shots and it has been speculated some were involved.
He never get bodyguards he did not expect that
They hated sadat to the core.he was fed to the lions
it is inside job , sadat was hated among the egyptian army , and there was a conspiracy from groups inside the army to kill him , we can call it military coup , because the movements of the killers were known to the egyptian intelligence , but they didn't care , even the soldiers had bullets with them and this was not permitted before , even the wife of sadat told that his husband killed by a sniper , also the army and the guards didn't defend or attempt to use weapons .
@@azuaraikrezeul1677 There were allegations that Daddy Assad was involved in the assassination.
Nothing is impossible on the Arab world it could have it been pre plan to assassinated him
I was in high school when this happened and I was in honors social studies class and our teacher announced the Sadat assassination to the class
Before, the theme music for Nightline was the same as the first theme music from World News Tonight.
Now, Nightline has its own theme music, and the format today is more of news magazine format with each report on that night's episode lasting in 7 to 9 minutes, mostly entertainment news, lifestyle, and news magazine features and breaking and developing news reports being the same as from World News Tonight.
He was a good man who worked for peace
His murderers worked for peace of the tomb.
he was a traitor to egypt, second only to Sisi
@@samrezvani3299kosomk
@@samrezvani3299 Actually I was curious to here an interpretation of these events from a more trustworthy source, so any elaboration you can provide would be appreciated
@@DRS659Yes, I'm curious myself as well. He was assassinated on my 4th birthday and I'm in Mexico so I have no idea of how he was. I could read about him, of course but there's nothing like hearing points of views from people who know directly firsthand about this. I'd be great if he or she could elaborate some more.
RIP
Anwar Sadat
(1918-1981)
Amazing video. I noticed Hosni Mubarak was sitting next to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat when the attack occurred, but how did he survive?. Also I didn't know there were Americans present on the stage. Watching a young Carl Bernstein giving his report before the interview to Helms, Kissinger and president Jimmy Carter was also fascinating.
The security detail only managed to throw Mubarak to the ground, when they got to Sadat it was to late.
I know the US Deputy Commander in Chief Europe and his aide de camp were in the reviewing stands. The aide was shot in the foot and I replaced him as the DCINC's aide until he recovered. Thankfully, General Allen, USAF was not hit.
I Watched this live , the shooting and all . THE Camera rolled on , with no cuts . I remember a general standing over his wife, with one arm , just hanging in his sleeve , then the arm fell off , he picked it up , screaming with anger .... really , today world is a lot more normal , than the , 60 , 70 and 80s ... media did not play back then too ..
42 years after this broadcast, Jimmy Carter is still holding, while Heinz ("Henry") Kissinger has just passed at 100.
Interesting numerology with his years. 1918-1981
In fact! So interesting that my comment in agreement with you was immediately canceled.
R.I.P. Barbara Walters! You're one of a kind and never can be duplicated! (Reported First)
All these people were ready and lined up to talk about the assassination on the day of the assassination? Efficient…
I like Miss Kays: She was on point, specific information so you can make your own eval, and not so much fluff/speculation as now.
Former Israeli general and Foreign Secretary Moshe Dyan interviewed. He would be dead 10 days later from a heart attack.
Like them or disapprove of their policies...those guys were people to admire and respect.
U mean former defense minister.... I think 🤔
@@alvesthegreat He was defense minister in the Eshkol and Meir governments in the 1960s and early 70s. When Begin was elected in 1977, he accepted the offer to join his government as Foreign Minister, even though he was in the opposition party.
Ted Koppel always reminded me of JFK with a Russian fur hat on
This was an era when the news highlighted true journalism, indepth analysis and commentary rather than fake news, personal biased opinions and toxic wokeness. We may never see the likes of this ever again.
We never see journalists covering breaking news, trying to describe what is happening to the best of their abilities? Bonkers. And some sacrifice their safety and lives doing their jobs.
We did not have made up words , like Woke ...
Damn!! Y'all's obsession with robotic teleprompter news!! Lol,!!
Anwar Sadat was a man of courage and of vision - RIP
What I find interesting is Sadat was born 1918 and died in 1981. 18 reverse numbers 81... UM.
Funny how Mubarak came out ok.
I always thought that he was part of this plot
Regina Moss vet very wicked man
Regina Moss So did I.
Hmmmmm.......
Regina Moss He was sitting too close for that to be true. No one who is trying to take power is going to sit next to his own target.
If only more Arabs and Muslim leaders had the brains and guts that Sadat had
Getting assassinated might have something to do with it?
BYJOB - you could say the same thing about Israel. The real jews weren’t these Europeans lol
@@MohamedAshraf-jt2dn They gave up Sanai, Gaza and the West bank for peace
@BYJOBtruth
@@DMS-pq8 what gave up? these ashkenazis are cross-breeds and not native to the holy land. so dont make bull. it was neve Judea, a fake name used by your ethnics. it was roman palestina for ancient phoenicians
David Brinkley was a real news reporter
Wow... creepy to see that footage of him talking in the last minutes of his life.
The only president that did not start a war
for the most part, was a great guy, and a humanitarian ,
This president, came very close, to bringing peace to the Mideast, not an opinion
I would say, God bless this man, God gave him a long life on earth for a reason
1977 what a year it was, long may you live,, Mr.president Jimmy Carter
Happy birthday president Jimmy Carter 95 and still looking fine 10-1-2019
The murderers of president Sadat too, worked to bring peace, of the tomb though.
Carter didn't seem that upset, which surprised me because I thought that he and Sadat had a close personal friendship. In fact, he didn't seem upset at all!
Yes you're right
Carter was a people pleaser. He was not a good humen being. I know at the end of the shah life, Carter called Mobarak and asked him not to accept the shah (a humen being with terminal cancer) because he wanted to give the shah to Iran revolutionary and President Saadat found it and threatened him that I want my brother, the shah, alive.
So carter venom did not work and he was out from white house by grace of God. His rule was based on lie.
I think he was a narcissist and he saw people like objects for his benefit but God is in control, the shah was rescued by President Saadat and hostage released by President Reagan (God rest him in peace).
فى الدقيقه 9 ما علاقة احمد شوبير بالموضوع
I remember when he was killed. But there was a lot of hard liners who didn’t appreciate his peace treaty with Israel. Peace is still the way.
I’m convinced George Will is a vampire. He looks the same today.
Makes me wonder who was that American contractor ? 🤔
Ahh News before Americans dismantled the Fairness Doctrine
We need to get back to this not divided we are now
2:27 Sadat had no idea of what was in store for him later on during the military parade.
I was in HS when this happened. Hard to believe that happened almost 43 years ago.
This day was a crushing day in my life for reasons that had nothing to do with Anwar Sadat. It was the day I had a very bad breakup with my first love.
Well everyone has to break away from their hand eventually. Glad you are doing O.K.
@@ynp1978 Hand? Sounds more like the family dog and a ketchup bottle lol
For me too, for it was around this time that I realized Henry Kissinger was unequivocally heterosexual and that, therefore, my teenage crush was for naught🥲
@@harryricochet8134 what?? you cray cray
@@stanleyvaldez264 R/wooooosh
I remember this ... Gaddafi is gone now ... Arafat is gone ... Assad is still there but with problems of similar origin - karma? ... one wonders where all this gets us ... How does any of this help the average person on the street? How does this affect the mums and dads trying to raise a family? How does this affect the little business just trying to get on and make a living? Who gives idiots bullets and power beyond their status? "A generation goes, and a generation comes,
but the earth remains forever" " Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."
Hafez Assad is gone, the Bashar Al-Assad regime of today began in 2000 with the death of his father
Add Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden to that list.
Do you have new year's with Dick Clark ?. Please ?.🙏
That quote at the beginning was a beauty. What a gentleman and hero. Gotta get me a pipe to spite those cowards while they rot in paradise.
It just so happened that at that very moment in my dorm at a US university, I was watching this parade live when this incident occurred.
@28:47 and ten days later on the 16th of October 1981 Moshe Dyan joined Sadat in death
I cannot describe the amount of hate and despise I have for every single man involved in his assassination. I of course want everybody to have peace even if they don't deserve it, but considering how much Sadat could have change not only Egypt, but the entire world if he wasn't killed, I hope these assassins go and burn in hell for eternity.
No Egyptian went to his funeral his known as loser in Egypt
Egypt is military dictatorship that can only maintain itself by us aid foreign aid paid to the military dictatorship to keeps the peace with Israel and jail all political opposition
Ahmed islambulli sadat killer Mother was asked how she felt knowing that her son killed sadat she said i am proud that my son killed sadat
@@sammyaden9016 True, hopefully someday another revolution will happen but that time Egypt will remain a true democracy. I still have not lost faith in Egypt's youth, they are our last hope.
Lots of tension around here
As a Nubian Egyptian I really love President Sadat he is one of the best presidents in Egypt's history he retake our land from the Zionists he personally was close to one of my relatives my grand dad award kerbash he was close to every Egyptian including the Nubian people we will always remember what he did to us and to our homeland r.i.p Sadat 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@MohamedAshraf-jt2dn yes Sadat was like 2/3 Egyptian 1/3 Sudanese and at this time when he was porn Egypt &Sudan was having the same king the marriages between the 2 people was happening alot Egyptian soldiers who were in Sudan and the Sudanese women like in Sadat & nagieb case till now there is marriages between Egyptians & Sudanese and that's a good thing and happens in every nations with it's neighbours esp when this nations have strong & ancient relations between them like Egypt & Sudan also I'm proud Egyptian Nubian I love Sudanese people they're good people I also love all of our neighbours the Arabs & African ones (exp those mfs thieves who want to steal our land on the occupied Palestine)
I'll always remember watching this live. I did like Anwar Sadat and was shocked at his death.
Could you please post old frontline episodes
Yes, PLEASE
Skoll
Question was it an revenge like a jealousy or a set up like a plan to killed President Anwar Sadat?
There is no peace without homeland return. Golan Heights and PALESTINE 🇵🇸 must return and that is how you make peace
Before we had a Soviet style state vetted media How refreshing to see again
Yeah, Fox News is the worst.
Before Reagan got rid of the fairness doctrine so the media could be more like the national enquirer and facts were replaced by speculation.
I was at a newsstand on Chambers Street in NYC when someone came up and said they Sadat was assassinated.
One of those who were assassinated came out on television after the January 2011 revolution and said that he had made a mistake in killing Sadat. He said that if he had known that Mubarak would destroy the country economically and politically in 30 years, he would not have killed Sadat.
What was the manufacturer and brand of glove Ghadafi used? I agree with Mohamar completely.
Look at Mubarak, who like LBJ, new he was spared to become the next dictator in the wake of the assassination.
Israelis assassinated Anwar Saddat.
After the Camp David accords??
Back when arresting political opponents was not in fashion.
Lol @ the phone ringing
👍👍 your avatar
His last word was very powerful as a Muslim
I so wish that with the wisdom our ancestors had we should by now know what to do, especially inhibit the dependency we have on foreign aid. Makes you wonder?
What happened to the news???? Does Ted Koppel have grandchildren who would consider having a journalistic career???? Absolutely no comparison between the excellent reporting and content then to the trash today.
The bad blood between Egypt and Libya goes back 2800 years, when Libyan Pharaos assumed the throne of Egypt.
رحمت خداوندبرمردبزرگ کبرای کشورش خدمت صادقانه کردوبرای صلح کوشید
They say Anwar favorite song was I love a parade.
Sadat was destroyed by the same forces unleashed by the coup d'etat he and his confederates performed in July 1952 and the repression of it's subsequent rule which has continued to this day.
I was 11 years old and I remember the peace with Israel in camp davis.
in the Middle East as for the rest of the world, it's as simple as this: "The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgement in their goings: they have made crooked paths: whosoever goeth theirin shall not know peace." - ISA. 59:8
The great leader Anwar Sadat joined the political field in 1935 at the age of 17 years old before joining to the Egyptian military academy directly.
He is one of the Egyptian free military officers movement Which was formed in 1945 after the world war 2 against the royalty in egypt.
He was participated the Egyptian revolution of 23 of July 1952 to end the royalty in egypt and announcing the republic state in egypt.
He was worked with the nazi Germans against united kingdom to move out the British occupiers from egypt.
I was there that day...18...in the US Army. Special detail........
Special detail…WHAT?!?!
Don’t leave us hanging??
ONE OF THE GREAT LEADER OF THE WORLD,A REAL MAN,RIP
So this smoke and mirrors episode is brought to you by the bad guys to misdirect your attention from what really happened.
Whoa deep man! Deeeeeeeep! Whoaaaaaa!!! Too deeeeeeep!
President Sadat was a great man .
Resurrection is coming for him ,⛅🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌
Jesus and Jehovah Yahweh God knows who did it, 👹 Satan demons spirits influence them, ⛅🌌🌌🌌👀✍️👂🌌👀👂🙏 🕊️ the servant is on the Earth , 🌍 to prepare them to serve Jesus and Jehovah Yahweh God's government 🌌🌌
How come Jimmy Carter never said anything about losing the Shah of Iran as the best friend of the US in the ME?
On the contrary, Carter recognized the Islamic Republic in Iran & offered a good relationship with the Islamic Republic.
Even now american and european politicians have good relationship with ayatollah's regime
What is Kissinger saying in 14:28 ?? ".. Presindent Sadat felt under .. in superwhat?? .."??
Wait somebody been assasinated?
Life different back then
We were living in Oman 1981
41:08
The Sadat assassination was the first major incident linked to Islamic extremism that we struggle with still today
Guess who was sitting in an Egyptian prison cell when this happened.
Bin Lauden's sidekick.
