>> back in new york, senior producer cheryl gould races to prepare for the 6:30 broadcast. >> we had news into the allotted half hour. and that's stressful as it is. and then being ready at 6:29:59 so that when 6:30 comes and tom says "good evening," that you're ready. >> if the bird is up, i can just throw it to him. >> with minutes to go until the broadcast, the crowds and cheers reach a fever pitch. >> there's a guy coming across! cheryl! yeah. after you get done with segment three, they're coming across the wall right here. >> i remember tom saying to me at one point, "cheryl! cheryl! they're coming over the wall!" and i still get goosebumps when i remember that. he was there to record this, to report on it. >> it's amazing. >> we didn't know if they would shoot them with bullets. that had been the history of that wall. instead, they shot them with water cannons. and so people came over the wall drenched, wet with water cannon fire. they came over the wall with champagne bottles. and west germans greeting east germans. >> they should break the wall down just any moment, i think.
