Public Freak Out

HISTORIC VIDEO. Friends playing cards learn that Princess Diana was injured in a car accident, then react when news reports she has died. I recorded this home video and it sat in a box for 20+ years. This is the full, unedited version as I recorded it that night, from the original videotape. To answer some questions that have popped up Why was I recording I was trying out a new camcorder by recording friends playing the card game UNO. When my mom called me to say that Diana was in a car crash I turned on the TV, on silent, and we kept playing the game while monitoring the text on the bottom of the TV screen. When the screen text changed to Diana dead the true reality of the situation hit like a ton of bricks and we stopped playing UNO of course, and rushed over to the TV. This was recorded in Iowa City, Iowa. All of the guys in the video are still alive today (as of today, May 11, 2021). The guy who screams when he learns Diana has died is my friend Ken who lives in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
