Fire in the Studio...

Around 1971, there an incident on the offshore pirate radio ship Mebo 2 in the North Sea (with it's programming beamed towards the U.K.) in which the ship caught fire after a bomb was tossed onto the ship, and the DJ on-duty made distress calls.

You can hear an off-air recording of the actual broadcast and see color film footage (perhaps from a news report from a Dutch TV network) at:

I like his casual glance over the left shoulder just before the guys with the extiguishers arrive.

It's also pretty impressive how the fire jumps up from below and spreads all over the console.
