Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

It's practically standing still now they've dropped ropes out of the nose of the ship; and (uh) they've been taken ahold of down on the field by a number of men. It's starting to rain again; it's... the rain had (uh) slacked up a little bit. The back motors of the ship are just holding it (uh) just enough to keep it from... It's burst into flames! It's burst into flames, and it's falling, it's crashing! Watch it, watch it, folks! Get out of the way, get out of the way! Get this, Charlie; get this, Charlie! It's fire... and it's crashing! It's crashing terrible! Oh, my! Get out of the way, please! It's burning and bursting into flames and the... and it's falling on the mooring mast and all the folks agree that this is terrible; this is one of the worst catastrophes in the world. Oh, it's crashing... oh, four or five hundred feet into the sky, and it’s a terrific crash, ladies and gentlemen. There’s smoke, and there’s flames, now, and the frame is crashing to the ground, not quite to the mooring mast. Oh, the humanity, and all the passengers screaming around here! I told you; it – I can't even talk to people, their friends are on there! Ah! It's... it... it's a... ah! I... I can't talk, ladies and gentlemen. Honest: it's just laying there, a mass of smoking wreckage. Ah! And everybody can hardly breathe and talk and the screaming. I... I... I'm sorry. Honest: I... I can hardly breathe. I... I'm going to step inside, where I cannot see it. Charlie, that's terrible. Ah, ah... I can't. Listen, folks; I... I'm gonna have to stop for a minute because I've lost my voice. This is the worst thing I've ever witnessed.

— Herbert Morrison, Transcription of WLS radio broadcast describing the Hindenburg disaster.

What can you tell about Herbert Morrison, the author of this source, by listening to his broadcast? Who is the audience he addressing?

Answer:

By reading and listening to Morrison's broadcast, we can say that he was surprised and horrified about the accident he was witnessing. It addresses people who have been waiting for reports of the Hindenburg zeppelin landing.

Explanation:

Morrison was scheduled to report the landing of the Hindenburg zeppelin, which was a great investment and a great novelty in aviation, many people were anxious to know the result of that landing and it is to these people that Morrison communicated through his report.

As you may already know, the landing of the Hindenburg zeppelin was a great disaster which caused death and panic to the people who were at the time. Morrison was surprised and horrified by everything that was happening and made his broadcast very realistically, managing to pass on to the public the desperation that the situation represented.

Natasha_Volkova [10]
Teen: I wouldn't want the martial law back, because first off; that means we are undergoing a war on the U.S. soil, and second off, that means the President (being Trump) can over ride the other branches of the government, making him our "ruler" of sorts, and can form laws that could be normally harmful towards the economy and citizens of the U.S.
