22 h 37 min, 9 nov 1989 ans - ARD hails open borders

Description:

West German television/media outlet ARD Broadcasting hails open borders as a fact from their newsroom. An on-ground report shows contrary; but the story is itself too significant to not continue with. Because so many East Germans received the pirate-signal on their televisions, the story creates a self-fulfilling prophecy: people turn out in droves to border checkpoints.
