  • I'm not from berlin but, i feel like berliner now!!! Heil berlin...

  • I was born a coulpe of years after this day, and watching this i feel so utterly happy, even though I didn't experience it. I'm so happy for these people, this makes me very proud of my country, and it's probably the only moment I actually feel "German" and am happy about it. This was the most glorious day in our history...

  • I remember this news report like yesterday. I was only 7 at the time

  • Boo Hoo, fuck you germany, the wall should still be up, but it should have been built around all of germany!!

  • Ablolutly great

  • interesting that bbc hasnt changed since then

  • in the world there are many countries. but only a few are NATIONS. Germany is one of them.

    Germany which truly is a dynamic nation and awesome country!

  • @BeingSamee

    Indeed youn countries like Germany tend to be more dynamic than the older ones. Thanks for your comment.

  • @BeingSamee have u learned that from hitler ,,,, germany is really great country...

  • 3:14 hitler! sry^^

  • 3:16 hitler!

  • @dannte1770 Bollocks - sorry "Bollock" singular

  • Rob, your videos are amazing. Thanks for preserving this monumental historical event :)

  • @Joshuadrooney - thanks for your comment. I knew I recorded this stuff 20 odd years ago for a reason ! Its nice to share !

  • " Few people had west german money, but this night they were not going to need it ", human generosity in an atrocity is really remarkable!.

  • Thanks so much for saving and sharing this. It is of course actually BBC Breakfast News on the following day, 10 November 1989. I'm still trying to find the BBC 9 O'Clock News from the previous evening, which would have been just a couple of hours after the press conference in which the opening of the Wall was announced.

  • @MQsCues The opening to that 9 o'clock bulletin is on TV-ark

  • @AidanLunn Oh yes - surprised I missed that! Thanks for the heads up!

  • I wasn't even alive but I find my eyes getting all watery everytime I see this :)

  • If your dates correct - BBC News 9th November 1989? Then this was also Jill Dando's birthday, She'd have been 28 in that clip.

  • fucking great moment in history...i was born in 1988 but this brings tears to my eyes...knowing that a totalitarianism government is gone...and a country can be whole again...and not act like a foreign country between one city separating it between east and west ..i really wish i was old enough to be there...even as a tourist (if i could of been back than) ...to expierence wonderful history of even seeing the soliders giving up their borders and going....HOME...TO GERMANY..not west or east

  • @shakysyxx

    Well I was privilaged to watch this happening live and to record it - I recorded it at the time because for all of us who cared it was very emotional. Glad it touched you !

  • @shakysyxx and nobody could even believe even since Gorbachow begun to put reforms starting from 1985 ! But it must have been a delusion for OST BERLINER to find out what Capitalism really is : a Satanic institution

  • @hotello2009

    See you at OCCUPY me ole mate - come and join us....get your body in your bag in your small tent - don't just talk about it!

  • @shakysyxx : I was 6 but I remember sitting in front of the TV, not understanding what was happening, but understanding that this was a very happy and tremendously emotional moment for my parents who grew up with family in eastern Germany they weren't allowed to visit... i still have tears in my eyes when I see this!
