Sounds interesting. Any links?

Both on television I am afraid.
Can you remember anything about the program?
Which station and about how long ago?

The British tape was played on BBC2 documentary on the Falklands.
Another interesting part of that was an interview with the Belgrano's
Captain, who thought the RN was quite right to sink his ship.

The US tape was played as part of a documentary on independent TV, I
forget the channel. Video evidence was certainly used in subsequent US
enquiries on the airliner shootdown.
