You have found the YouTube home of British Movietone News!

British Movietone is arguably the world’s greatest newsreel archive, spanning the period 1895 – 1986.

Shot on 35mm film, this global archive contains many of the world’s enduring images and is rich in coverage of news events, celebrities, sports, music, social history, science, lifestyle and quirky happenings. It was the first newsreel to include sound, the first to use colour film, the first to break many exclusive stories, and is your first and last stop for newsreel footage.

If that happened today there would have been at least 10 people on that slab taking selfies as it collapsed.

I've got an idea, why doesn't some halfwit put an advert over the last few frames?

When I was a kid, this was the only way you could see stuff like this. Now I sit in front of YouTube and watch my fill of landslides, dam failures, tsunamis, detonations, car crashes...

It's amazing they had the technology to build waterfalls like that way back in 1954!

Aaahhh, the good ole' narration voice from the 50s. Clear, concise, just enough over-dramatic.
