On Jan. 29, 2006, Bob Woodruff was nearly killed by a roadside bomb north of Baghdad. Woodruff, an ABC anchor, and cameraman Doug Vogt were with the U.S. 4th Infantry Division. They were travelling in an armored vehicle. Woodruff and Vogt were standing with their heads above a hatch when the bomb exploded.
Although both wore body armor and helmets, they sustained considerable injuries. After surgery at a U.S. military hospital in Iraq, Vogt recovered. Woodruff, however, was kept in a medically induced coma. ABC News has posted a slide show depicting Woodruff’s recovery. It’s amazing.
