January 8, 1992: President Bush becomes ill on a visit to Japan and vomits on Japanese Prime Minister Miyazawa Kiichi.
While the footage was widely seen of Bush recovering from having emptied his stomach contents on the leader of his host nation, the actual moment of puke was only shown once on US television, on ABCNews. And somehow I ended up with a copy of it on VHS.
Here's what's on this tape:
1. Brief news story about the vomiting.
2. The complete footage of what happened.
3. Slow-motion forward and reverse footage of the projection in progress
4. Brief exceprt from a Saturday Night Live sketch parodying an Oliver Stone recreation of the vomit conspiracy.
Enjoy!
