Apollo 11 Splashdown Day in Union Square

About This Item

KTVU's Claud Mann reports from San Francisco's Union Square, where air raid sirens herald the Apollo 11 crew's splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on July 24th 1969. He interviews several passers-by for their reactions to the historic moon landing: "I'm glad they made it ... I really liked it because I want to pretend in my back yard ... It's been just wonderful, especially in color ... That's groovy ... I think people are apathetic! Where's all the excitement?"
