Pope Paul VI First Pope To Visit Holy Land

Historic footage as 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 Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras I, leader of the Orthodox Rite. Thus he ended his journey as he had begun it, by again making history.

Waterfront Fire In New York City

A roaring fire placed a dark blanket over mid-town Manhattan as a blaze engulfs an old railroad terminal on a waterfront pier. Six fire boats and scores of fire engines fight the blaze for an hour before bringing it under control. The old railroad terminal was due for demolition anyway, so the fire just rang down the curtain early on one of New York’s landmarks.
