TV to Air Death Chamber Tapes "The tapes were recorded by prison staff and document the events taking place in the execution chamber as narrated by prison officials witnessing the event. The descriptions follow the procedure from the securing of the prisoner to the electric chair to the pronouncement of the time of death and the removal of the prisoner's body from 23 executions. All the tapes are public record".
Public radio stations WNYC-AM and -FM in New York City planned to broadcast excerpts at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Duh, never mind.
From the tapes:
“Mickey, what was that snap–pop earlier?”
“When he got the electricity his body snapped really hard.”
...
“I appreciate what they said. A very smooth job.”

Sounds like something you'd see on The Learning Channel, right after Police, Camera, Action(!)
