I had read about this incident. I didn't know there was footage of it. Thanks for posting it, Theo. You made my day.

The interviewer sounds like Robert Vaughan from Man from Uncle and the Mag 7.

The story I read said Tex's boss nearly had a heart attack watching that roll over, and that he was furious.

The story went to note that one retirement gift for that executive was a framed photo of the 707 flying upside down. History records that said gift was left behind in his old office.
