The cause for Frank's meltdown.


Thirty years ago today we were witness to yet another assassination attempt unfolding on our TV screens. This time it was President Reagan. But none took it to the point of hysteria nearly as well as ABC News Anchor, the late Frank Reynolds.

Here is a clip of the moment Reynolds was told that the President wasn't okay.

Frank Reynolds: Speak up! Speak up!! My God!!

Lest we all forget.
