When the TV started counting down along with those dark NBC Chimes, you just knew shit just went down

[SeanKL]

The universal theme songs of “Oh fuck, now what?”

00:55 If you hear this at 10 am est Sundays on your local NBC Station it's Meet The Press

If you hear this 2pm on a Tuesday it means an NBC News Special Report

John Williams "Pulse of Events" is a great musical piece

[Commanderraf]

I can't believe that no one on NBC has had a moment of inspiration and used "the four chime" as part of these Special Reports intros for breaking news.

1:12 with that time & date recorded we all know what the special report was. 😔

[JayVision]

Whenever I hear the NBC Chimes and the theme song, I know that whenever it comes on, I know that something happened. Like it could be a bomb threat or a tragic death to someone.

I hope when America’s Mozart passes (and we all know who this is), that NBC breaks in at any time with this intro.

Props to all of you who noticed WESH at 1:29. I just lost that hannel and may have it back by tomorrow or Sunday.

[RealBNews]

This music is traumatic. Horrible Memories

[rtcp]

We interrupt your life to bring this special report!

[TheMiuToo]

0:15 Can you imagine if today all special reports were brought to you by someone. Like a NBC Special Report brought to you by McDonalds

[nedwart]

Interesting that, during the countdown of the current open, the 1985-2004 version of the Nightly News headline bed is played.

[heker]

TV Started counting down with the NBC's chimes and the narrators

Me : oh shit what happened
TV : Trump called Putin
Me : BRING BACK MY TV SHOW!!!

[spokenreason]

Who thinks terrorist attack when this happens

[taydrabrookshire]

Man don’t you just love it when they make a special news report on Sept 11, 2001 :troll:

[twcallen]

Back when the Special Report was actually necessary... now it’s just constantly Trump, Trump, Trump

[RobertPaniagua]

0:28 thru 0:35 was from late 1980 during the height of the Iran hostage crisis

[cellytron]
