Pam, even without looking at the footage (because I don't trust the website, youtu.be?), the words "Oh, the humanity," means ... your video is of the Hindenburg disaster. That single event is why you didn't grow up with airships. Lakehurst, New Jersey, May 6, 1937. The reporter is Herbert Morrison. That is one of the most iconic pieces of American News Reporting. (I had always heard that Morrison lost his job for "editorializing" and showing emotion during that report, don't know if that's true).
The film clip is real, and the lines are part of the mooring system for the ship. The sounds of pieces of metal hitting the ground are pieces of metal hitting the ground. The Hindenburg was a fabric shell stretched over a metal frame.
And it is "mass of smoking wreckage."
America didn't have the word "fucking" in 1937. Especially not in radio.
