Jim McKay: 1921-2008 Photos
Jim McKay's finest hours may have been the 16 straight he broadcast during the Munich Summer Olympics hostage crisis in 1972. He was the anchor when events turned grim with the news that Palestinian terrorists kidnapped 11 Israeli athletes. It was left to McKay to tell Americans when a commando raid to rescue the athletes ended in tragedy. "They're all gone," he said.
