Actually, it does but we're unlikely to see it any time soon.
For decades it was thought that the only copy of the tape was handed over to Chubbuck's family and (presumably) destroyed. Last year it was revealed that the station manager ran off his own copy, for whatever reason, and held onto it to the end of his life. When he croaked, his widow came into possession of the tape. It's currently being held, at her request, by an attorney. If I had to guess, I'd say she's looking for a payday before she releases it.

But the 3 retweets he got shows that his nearly 400,000 followers are chomping on the bit, edge of heir seat excited about his next move.

You know, I don't think that he really has 400000 followers.

Are you saying that the comments of liking the direction of the show aren't real people?

What? No, nuh uh. Nope.

Christine Chubbuck was a local television host in Florida who committed suicide live on the air in 1974.

Goddamnit I got excited and tried to look up the video but apparently it doesn't exist anywhere.

I hope she gets a million dollars for it and gets hoovers.
