My Dad, one of my Grandfathers, and several acquaintances worked on that project back in the day. Over the years I pried a little information out of a couple of them, but only a little. It is awesome that someone has uploaded a longer film clip of Credible Sport in action. The only thing that I'd seen before this video was the crash film.

By the way, no two people who worked on the program explained the crash the same way. There were fingers pointing in all different directions.

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.

S: Took hammer away from midget.
