A moment like that'll have him heading to the store for new Jockeys. A journalist and his crew were nearly killed on Thursday when a missile exploded just feet away from them as they reported in war-torn Lebanon, the video above shows. Steve Sweeney and cameraman Ali Rida, who both work for Russian RT outlet, were reporting about the latest Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon when they suddenly noticed the missile heading right for them.
The bomb exploded just behind Sweeney in a powerful blast that sent him and Rida flying back as smoke and debris covered the ground.
“Fucking hell,” Sweeney, a Beirut-based reporter, could be heard saying in the aftermath. “Fuck.” Couldn'ta said it better, my friend...
Rida went as far as to claim Israel “deliberately attacked” the crew, who were clearly wearing attire that signaled them as members of the media.

The coffee shop we frequented in the morning got wiped out 10 minutes after we left one morning.
ReplyDeleteTurn Mossad loose in Iran. Let them F'up every mulla, IRG, and past regime member. Turn the iron mountain into pumice.
What a shame they missed. As for 40 degrees, it's that here in Hampshire and people are walking around in t-shirts.
ReplyDeleteI never understood why the press feel they should be treated special or different. If you're going to wander into an active war zone, expect to be hit. Why should anyone redirect their fire just because you decided to waltz your sorry ass into the target zone?
ReplyDeleteOf course he doesn’t have enough awareness that the ‘slimes didn’t target him
