Bob Woodruff's Skull
Wednesday, February 21, 2007
Any reporter who has been to Iraq feels an instant, kindred spirit with anyone else who has been there. This is especially true for anyone who was hurt or killed. I knew David Bloom briefly from several appearances I made with him on The Today Show over the years. I have never met Bob Woodruff, despite working closely with some folks at ABC over the years. Still, my wife and I took the news of his attack very personally, given that I had trod many of those roads a few years earlier.
The picture above is a scan of Bob Woodruff's skull created at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., on Jan. 31, 2006 -- just
two days after Woodruff and his team were hit by an insurgents' bomb in Taji, Iraq. (The second picture is him two days after waking from a five-week coma.) The scan shows the rocks and debris that were lodged into Woodruff's face and neck, and the areas around his eyes. They were posted on the ABC News website to promote an upcoming report about his recovery (Tuesday, Feb. 27 at 10 pm). This news sends chills down my spine just thinking of what he went through. Hooray!
