When Ronald Reagan Was Attacked On Camera

This video captures a startling moment from 1992, when President Ronald Reagan was nearly struck by a shattered NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) award made of glass during a public appearance. As Reagan made his way through the event, a disturbed individual hurled the broken award in his direction, narrowly missing him. Secret Service agents immediately stepped in, securing the area and escorting Reagan to safety. The dramatic footage underscores the ever-present risks faced by public figures, even after leaving office.
