The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was being threatened by encroaching Atlantic Ocean. Host Bill Leslie examines the debate about how to save this North Carolina icon. (Originally aired Dec. 9, 1998.)
A year later the WRAL Doc unit documented the lighthouse's move from the edge of the Atlantic coast. You can watch this documentary, "The Cape Light: Away from the Edge," here: • Saving the Cape Hatter...

I had the honor of climbing this lighthouse not long before it was moved. It was a long climb, but the amazing views from the top made the climb well worth it. I love this lighthouse and hope it's still standing long after I'm gone. Well worth the move, IMO.

Back in the '60s and '70s, our family would vacation in Buxton, and the friends that I met there would climb that lighthouse almost every day of our two-week vacation. So many great memories were made there on The Outer Banks. I live in Florida now but would love to go back someday to relive my youth.

My grandfather Pete Friesen helped to move that lighthouse. He was brilliant. I wish I could still pick his brain, but sadly passed away before I became an engineer myself.

What impresses me is that this is in HD in 1998, probably like ten years before HD became standard!

How dare anyone contemplate doing harm in any way shape or form. It must be saved at all costs.

How encouraging to hear people that still value America instead of psycho babble making the case for giving away human rights in our sovereign land.

And now the original location of the lighthouse is a stick in the sand. Guess we saw who is right after all.

25:05 Oh, I cannot fathom how THAT guy lost. "You're insane. Do not value what you value. You're stupid. Where is your brain? You think wrong. You are irrational." And yet...somehow...he had a really hard time winning people over to his way. I just...man...with a sales pitch like that...how did he encounter any resistance at all? I think...maybe...scientists ought to stick to science, and let salesmen come in and do the selling.

He did come across as being obnoxious, but he didn't lose. He was a proponent of moving the lighthouse.
