Take off from helicopter bombing scene from Apocalypse Now.
Aerial shots of Terre Haute, shots of WTHI's news helicopter, Chopper 10, edited with old film and newsreel shots to make it look like there is a bombing raid on the Terre Haute station building on Ohio St.
The WTHI building was nicknamed the "Blue Rock," mirroring CBS's "Black Rock" facility in New York.
Music: Ride of the Valkyries
