QDear 100 Hour Board,

So the Cody Judy thing had me intrigued. I remember vaguely hearing about it. Got my own info on the subject. For those who don't know, back in 1993 during a multi-stake fireside given by Howard W. Hunter, a man named Cody Judy rushed the stage with a briefcase and what he said was a triggering device for dynamite inside the briefcase. Those attending the fireside began to sing a hymn (though I can't find anything that names the hymn, I've heard through the grapevine that it was We Thank Thee O God For a Prophet). Appearently Judy was distracted and tackled by security guards who thoroughly disarmed him and made sure he got a punching or two in. So now for my questions: 1) Can you confirm it was We Thank Thee O God for a Prophet that the members began to sing? 2) Any footage of this incident? At first I thought, "Oh man, if its a devotional they must have been taping it." Then when I researched it, I found out it was a fireside... so my hopes are definitely diminished, but I figure there might have been some reason for the fireside to be taped. Any help?

ADear Your mother,

One of my good friends was there when it happened, and I even saw the incident at Institute back home in CA.   Yes, it was "We thank thee O God for a prophet.   And as it was a fireside, it was broadcast all over the world, and I'm assuming it was taped for archival reasons and because some places probably watch it delayed.
