22 decembrie 1989 dimineata - zona Sf. Gheorghe (filmare furata de la S.R.I.)

Date: Sun Feb 07 2021 ; Tags: Romania

Raw footage shot from a balcony near Parcul Sfantul Gheorghe in Bucharest at 9:30 AM on 22 December 1989. Therefore this is one of the first skirmishes of the 1989 revolution. This area is just south of Piata Universitate and the Intercontinental Hotel, which was a main focus of protester activity. The video shows folks in the street having various confrontations with police carrying shields. There are a few instances showing gunfire but it's not clear whether folks were actually shot or what happened. That is, folks scattered at the sound of gunfire, but all they did in response was BOOOOOOO and the sounds did not indicate anyone having been wounded, in this circumstance. There were people shot in other circumstances of the 1898 Revolution in Romania, of course, but it does not appear there were any shot in this recording.
