- This is the hardest video I’ve ever had to make. When I started this project over a year ago, I had hopes of getting answers to 45 year old questions. "What was he thinking and feeling in all these images I’m seeing and hearing on my screen"?
And thanks to a letter, and some very generous people who chose to join me in this, I got those answers. But there was one question I accepted I would never have answered. What was he thinking & feeling at 10:38 am April 25th, 1979?
And then the Universe stepped in...A total stranger and subscriber messaged me. He explained he remembered the accident as a child, and that his father was involved in the investigation from the Air Force side. I asked if we might speak, and he put us in touch.
Retired Major George Knirsch, USAF agreed to sit down with me and share his memories of the incident and investigation, and in the process he answered the one question. This is that conversation, thanks for joining me on this journey.
My heartfelt gratitude to Major Knirsch for telling his story, and Stephanie Usery, Video Archivist KMOV. April 25, 1979 video footage supplied and used with full permissions KMOV TV, St. Louis, Mo.

That was an amazing video. 😢 so happy you got your answers. ❤
it really was the hardest one to make #procrastination
I hope whatever additional input and information you've received has helped you. These thing's are impossible to truly comprehend, however he lives on through you, yours and other thoughts and the speaking of his life and achievements along with the memories of other who knew him or of him. Got to believe one day we'll all be together again in a place where all these pains can be laid to rest. Best Wishes.
it was a wonderful journey of discovery with some pretty incredible people who were very generous with their time, memories & stories. I learned so much in the process and tried to honor his memory the best I could. I have had a few, very mystical experiences in my life that leads me to believe your statement is correct. thanks for watching & your nice words.
@@6ZeroAlpha Very kind of you to respond to my comment. I've since realised you've been kind enough to post some films taken of your Father Naval career. Thank you for doing so. There's just something about watching footage taken on film from the 60's,70's to early 80's that has it's own magical quality and seeing the awesome Phantom in it's prime and element is something else. 2024 seems to be the year of The Phantom, I don't know if you are aware of a computer sim called DCS but there has recently been a Phantom module released which is very detailed inside and out, and a work of art in itself. There is also a You Tube Channel documenting the restoration to flight of a Phantom, the channels name is Diesel Thunder. That may be of interest to you to have a look at. Anyways, Best Wishes.
Still watching but that log book has Grumman Cheetah entries.
exactly, there is a very rich story there, we should fly somewhere together soon, and tell that story.
@@6ZeroAlpha Let me know when and where. I have found myself thinking about a run across Lake Michigan for some spotted cow. You know the TIger has a cargo mode...
