Oh the humanity!
score:7
Accepted answer
Yes, the origin of the phrase "Oh, the humanity" was introduced into popular culture by WLS Chicago announcer Herbert Morrison as he was describing the Hindenburg disaster while watching it unfold.
From Wiki:
Morrison's description has been dubbed onto the newsreel film of the crash, giving the impression of a modern television-style broadcast. However, at the time, newsreels were separately narrated in a studio and Morrison's words were not heard in theaters.
Morrison coined the phrase "Oh, the humanity." This phrase is now commonplace in popular culture.
