You're absolutely right, there sure weren't any smartphones, or at least not the ones we think of today.
I have a sort of unlisted version of the site that has been used in classrooms and museum exhibits: http://tv.911realtime.org
You can use the keyboard to navigate, and you will probably have to hit the spacebar on first load to get the player to play.

I really, really do apologize for not fixing this yet.
Thanks Pawka, I appreciate the support! I am re-working the interface that the 911realtime.org uses to make it responsive and more modern; you can see it here: http://classicy.ing
We're hoping that by the 25th anniversary, we can have a brand-new experience with more features and stability.
If you, or any other engineers, teachers or computer-savvy volunteers would like to contribute, you can find me at http://keepinghistory.org
