"Bart Shore's Time Warp Radio" is a podcast site that normally had daily podcasts that feature great classic rock rarities, as well as stories about the songs & artists. There is a special podcast on there today, though.

At the link below is an almost 20 minute aircheck from WMAQ-AM 670 on February 8th, 2000, as the news of the Bob Collins' plane crash unfolded. It features Bart Shore in Chopper 670, who was covering the crash from the skies above in Zion, John Dempsey and Chris Rhobling anchoring in the studio, and reports from Doug Cummings and Mike Krauser.

The stunning recording can be streamed at the link below.
