film survival?

it is stated in the first paragraph that the film was destroyed in a fire but then later it says that "President William Howard Taft, whose friend and military aide Archibald Butt was among the victims of the disaster, received a personal copy of the film" so does that mean his copy is still out there??

It's possible in theory that another copy could be out there - maybe among Taft's presidential files (did they have Presidential Libraries back then?). But the copies that were destroyed were the only known ones, unfortunately. Prioryman (talk) 23:48, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is a shame and im sure that they would have had presidential offices with all the information stored so it could be in there. you would think that someone will have the presidents records somewhere as americans like history, although they have little of their own this should certainly be included in it! Oh well lets hope somone finds it one day... JMRH6 (talk) 02:26, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The above citation seems to refer to the newsreel preceding the movie, not to the movie itself. Vs1969 (talk) 12:18, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
