    I just tried to watch the one on the whereabouts of the 1890 census--I know where it is, but I was curious to hear waht they might find to say about it, beyond "It was all pretty much destroyed in a huge conflagration". But while your link connected me, so I could see the top page and the arrow you click to begin a program, nothing happened. I also tried from my Ancestry account and got an "Oops". Very tired of "Oops."

      * "Much of it" was destroyed in the fire.
      * The fire convinced Congress to spend money on a new Archives building.
      * Some select counties survived They are listed very generically, like "Georgia - 1 county", etc.
      * Some survived pages show smoke & water damage, with examples.
      * The format of 1890 is very different, with examples.
      * You should maintain your smoke detectors!!
