P-I-T-E-T-S-B-K-R-R-H not quite right
It's probably moot at this point, but the malfunction spelling out "P-I-T-E-T-S-B-K-R-R-H" was a not entirely accurate analysis of the situation: the timing of the supposed "T-E-T" was more rapid than what was normal for the other letters (as can be seen in this YouTube video of the period, and noted by an astute commenter); the extra 'dot' for the E between the dashes for the T's occurred within the timing of the pause between the T's, effectively filling it in to create a single-letter sequence of dash-dot-dash, which is the code for K, making the whole string "P-I-K-S-B-K-R-R-H", something closely resembling the longstanding "Pittsburghese" corruption "Piksburgh". Of course, it's all water under the Liberty Bridge now. 2601:545:8201:6290:6D15:8728:F2B9:6EB5 (talk) 21:42, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
