I'm pretty sure those screams were also post-dubbed -- most newsreel footage of this sort was shot silent, and it's unlikely they had a sound truck at Lakehurst for what was expected to be a routine landing.
That's a great reel, though -- it was actually in theatres the day after the crash. One more myth is that newsreels were usually far behind the acutal news -- in fact they could get the pictures out remarkably quick.
The announcer for that reel is Alois Havrilla, a former NBC staff man who worked for Pathe for many years.
