You can spend a whole day watching the live coverage and field reports as the first damage images and ash predictions came in.
Not the kind of stuff you'll find on a youtube of National Geographic video. Unfortunately I contacted all the taped stations and they all refused to allow it to be uploaded anywhere without paying royalties or heavy editing.

This could be a situation where it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. I've found similar type videos of newscasts uploaded from other historically significant events.
