Pope Paul VI travels from Rome to the Holy Land on his precedent-shattering trip. Even as he boards the plane he creates a series of historical firsts: the first Pope to fly, the first to leave Rome since 1809 and the first to visit the Holy Land in 2,000 years. The Pope is greeted in Jordan by King Hussein before proceeding to Jerusalem where he enters the city through the Damascus Gate and retraces the footsteps of Christ along the Way of the Cross. Police are helpless before the crowds that crush to see and touch the Pontiff.The Pope crosses into Israel and goes to Nazareth where Jesus spent much of his early life and then to the Sea of Galilee where St. Peter was signaled out by Christ to be the first of the Apostles – the Peter who first occupied the Throne that has come down to Pope Paul VI. Then the Pope met with Patriarch Athenagoras, leader of the Orthodox Rite. Thus he ended his journey as he had begun it, by again making history. United States Waterfront Fire in New York City A roaring fire placed a dark blanket over mid-town Manhattan as a blaze engulfs a waterfront pier. Six fire boats and scores of fire engines fight the blaze for an hour before bringing it under control. The pier was due for demolition anyway, so the fire just rang down the curtain early on one of New York’s landmarks. World Last Minute Olympics Preparations Continue Scores of nations are in the frenzy of last-minute preparations for the opening of the 1964 Winter Olympic games in Austria. Germany is picking her ski-jumping team in final tests at Oberstdorf and they jump as far as 252 feet. There will be thrills at the Olympics and that’s not jumping at conclusions. --Contemporary Royalty Free Stock Footage Library: --Business ---- Celebrations ---- Concepts ---- Education ---- Generations ---- Health and Medical ---- Lifestyles --Modern Military ---- Nature Scenic ---- Nature Wildlife ---- Environmental Education ---- On Location ---- Sports Today --U.S. Presidents ---- Weather Watch ---- Contemporary Tragedies And Disasters ---- Motion Graphics - Special Effects --Historical Public Domain Stock Footage Library: --Historic Military And Nuclear Films ---- Newsreels: Events At Home And Around The World ---- Flashback In Time --NASA Space Exploration ---- Classic Cartoons ---- Christmas Programming ---- Religious Programming --Hollywood Films, Television And Trailers ---- Classic Cuts: Single Clip Downloads --Buyout Footage Company Links: --Buyout Footage Homepage ---- About Buyout Footage ---- Stock Footage License Info ---- Submitting Footage To Us --Buyout Footage Site Search ---- Buyout Footage Sitemap ---- Buyout Footage Return Policy --Email Us - Stock Footage Request
