7:04 pm
influence. i think we need to know these stories. it's been hard. a job once you start, once you love it, it's very difficult to do anything else, because there's very few other jobs that fill you with such perhaps pride. and the necessity to do it. i've done all of the wars. when the war breaks out, you have to cover it. it's important to our viewers. >> dangerous work. and maybe -- did you ever imagine what happened to you would happen? did those thoughts go through your head? >> yeah. i mean, it's interesting, i'm surrounded by colleagues who were injured. seven or eight who are died over the years. so i knew it could happen. i've seen it happen. but did i ever think it could happen to he? no, i'm not sure i did. i knew the risks, i knew it could happen. but there has to be a little element inside you. has to believe it won't. so, you make every precaution to take every precaution you can before you go in there and you're aware of the risks, but you can't let it cloud your judgment or distract you when you're working.
7:05 pm
