Munich 1972 Olympics Massacre http://archives.cbc.ca/ID C-1-41-1289-7332/sports/o lympics_cbc/ Confusion, disbelief, sorrow. The raw emotions are captured in this CBC Television news special about the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Games. What is clear is that members of the Palestinian group Black September slipped into the Olympic Village and took the athletes and coaches hostage. What remains murky is exactly how, at a military airport 21 hours later, a botched rescue mission ended with every hostage dead. The CBC reacts as a sports event becomes a huge international news story. Cameras capture gunfights and armoured personal carriers roaring through the night. Bob Moir, a CBC Sports commentator, records the impressions of Canadians who had a front seat for the unfolding nightmare. One describes watching the Israeli hostages being led away. "I just had a terrible feeling of foreboding that this was the last we'd see of them â€" and I'm afraid that was correct."
