The first shot is very early 70's and the second shot before the mid 70's - anyone pls. correct me if I'm wrong.
Well, if by "sent them bankrupt" you mean "bought an airline with overpaid staff and an aging poorly maintained fleet, then were bailed out by the NZ government while the Australian government refused to help", then yes Air NZ sent them bankrupt.

The wikipedia page sheds some light - not that I'm biased either...
