unthinkable adversity is an inspiration personally to me and to so many others. hao he has a new book. k i urge you to read saved a war reporter'soe mission to make it home. it is out march the 14th. and by the way, it is a must nead . i recently sat downw york. with benjamin hall in new york . here is part one of this interview. >> benjamin hall saved a warrem reporter's mission to make it home. >> my friendmy friend,, welcomer thank you. it's great to see you. pleasure to be here.t th you talk about the term of war correspondent. you've been all over the world. unfortunately, there been been conflicts. and you've been you wereyou' av the syrian civil war. >> you were in mosul in iraq. you we you were in kabul and in afghanistan during wartime mogadishu. >> and then, of course, ukraine . >> you were in war zones.job. that's your job. so hard. y i can only imagine the things that you've seen over the years and every place you've been to telace you've babout thl us t >> yeah, it's a job that youe se both love and both hate. you hate it because you see some of the horrible things, horrible things, families losing everything, homes ev, molished schools being demolished, children who have nothing. nothhave to love ischot to .ols yoing.u haveve it. to undey you're doing it and the importance of it. you've got to understand thatim those stories, as you tell to other people, really haven ui influence. and i think we need to knowple l these storielys. it's been hard a job ont's been hard. and it's a job that once younyt start, once you love it, it's th very difficult to do anything else because few oth very few or jobs that fill you with such perhaps pride and necessity to do it. so now i've i've done all the wars i feel when a war you breaks out, you've got to beit'a there to cover it. and it's important to our ewers. >> dangeviewers and it's work. and maybe did you ever imagine what happened to you would did happen to do those thoughts go through your head? surrounded by co it'erestisng interesting. lleagues who i'm surrounded by colleaguesht w who were injured, seven orho aa eight who died over the years. and so i knew it could happen. but did i've seen it happen.i ev but dier thid i ever think it wd happen to me? no, i'm not sure i did. bu i knew the risks. be a little i knew it could happen. but i think there has to ben't. a little element inside. you has to believe it won't. ey and so you make everyo in t precaution and take every precaution you can before you go in there. yoe risks, but and you're aware of the risks, c but you can't let it cloud judg your judgment. you can't let it distracment oru when you're working, because ify that cloud your mind, you won'ty do your job as well. so youou think about it go beforehand. but when you go in, you focusine on the job, the work and thelkio people you're talking to . and you don't let an lety fear >> you talked about your injuries. your mind. >> you talk abouttalk about t your injuries. let's talk about that dahat day and you were with your didn't make it out alive. the journalist w cameraman, didn't make it outs alive and a journalist was there as well. well w didn't make it out alive. and who didn't make it out alive.en and let's talk about the moment that changed your life forever. and what you remember about it. you talk about going black anday then you tell a pretty mi miraculous story about getting your consciousness back . >> let's let's talk about that moment, that day y. yeah. fi i mean, well, firstly, i was, wr i was saved that day. we were out we were filming in an abandoned village just o outside kif v. the russians had almost ci surrounded the city. and the idea was they would take it in the nex t few days. next few days. we actually , ironically, weren't planning on going up to the front lines. we were filmineren't plannins. g these areas that had been totally demolished and we saw schools that had been hit, churches that had beet haolished.n hit. and we filmed this all ourselves. and as we finished, we were aron drivind ch g back towardsth the capital city of kyiv. of kyi hadn't seen anyone in a longv. time. and we slow down an abandoned checkpoint and i don't know the first mie cameabout 30 feetn out of nowhere and about reverse tht in front of us immediately shouts, reverse the car, reverse the car. there were two ukrainians fiveing as well and five of us in a car car got stuck. erre we couldn't go back and shoutedh ,get out of the car. i won't get out of the car. then and the nextd second, the seco one hits right in front of the left of the car. i was in one , i went black and i was in a dark place. i couldn't feel or see. and i had taken shrapnel in the eye and the matchboxpnel in by shrapnel in my in my neck. and i was i was out i was out dead. and then i saw my my daughter, i don't know, went into this blackness right in front to me came my daughter ranna. and she said , to me, daddy, you've got to get out ofid to me the car. real as if she was in front of me. i don't know where she came to me and i came to and i opened up my eyes and my. instinct took me towards the car door and i scrambled. tb i pulled myself out and i gotitt out of the car and the third bomb hit the car. itself right after that. next thing i know, i wake up, it's thrown me away.m on fire. i'm on fire .e. my right leg is gone. t i roll around, i try to put. d y i knew you had lost your foot. >> i'd lost a foot. as god. the foot had gone. ironically, i didn't notice it at the time. >> your eye is injured sean: y and bleeding and took pieces of my skull out to my left hand , which has been put piece back together with all torn up the thumb hanging off. so i was lying there, lying there, and i was still alive. he at this point, and immediately said , don't move. russian drones don't, russian d. and so i'm lying there in this barren landscape trying not wha to move, trying to think owef, what we can do, looking at my injuries, realizing how badly injured i am. . and i get my cell phone out and no reception, can'twe wer get hold of hold oe.f anyone. no one knew where we were.und a we'd be moving around a little bit. and so i actually had my cell phone out.- i wi and the first thought i was, i will record what i'm seeing.i and i actually stoppedstopped a injuri i took a picture of my leg and some of my injuries and i immediately thought, well,on't my children can't see this if ct i don't come home. i can't be the last picture that perhaps they see. so i was sitting there and i deleted them immediately. >> but we lay there for a while longer. and pure again.. who was lying about five feetm away from me. >> also just lying there said the russians. the russians. >> and after a while a car came passed. it was up on this ridge justouta behind me. i shot a car, car . >> i started trying to wave atit it, wave out o didn'f trying tot attention. it didn't see me said it's the russians, it's the russians. >> and i said it's the, it doesn't matter. i'm so badly injured. go. and i remember thinking, it doesn't matter about my injuries. right now. . myself. i will do whatever it takes right now. i will drag myself home, pull myself. and i started pulling myself dr along the ground, dragging myself up the hill. and that same car a little while later took a wrong turn. and down the road, turn aroundwe and came back . and by that point i was a little bit higher up and i had my hand full of dirt and stones and i was waving and i thre w at the car and they saw me and they stopped, ran out and grabbed hold of me.bbedd they dragged o dragged me.st that was the first time i felt real pain. amazingly, i was so sort of the adrenaline is pumping through me at firsnaline wast ie the injuries, but i wasn't feeling the pain. and as soon as i was draggedgroh on the ground and the burns and the skin, a lot of thas andc just came ofamf the air. pain. and that was the point that i suddenly felt the real pain and i was thrown into the back of this van with pain you've ever felt before i >> sn your life >>at say and then when i was evacuated as well, and payments we as well and sends you to a a new place, an awful place, but somewhere that you have to find a way through and i wasr, i the last thing i remember. i found an ambulance afount a checkpoint and there's checkpoint have people and i enh

i'm in w russia. all i know is that we were saying russians, the car was bars c russian. this point i got bars comingomin out of my le'tg. gain, i' i can't movem very badlyruss injured. but again, i'm thinking i'm ini russia. >> how do i get out? i've got to find a way out.y ou i'm going to escape here. and someone came into the roomve with my state department press card. t >> i'd be working therhere ae and holding it up. and he was shouting, who areshog you? who are e you?you yo >> and the man opposite this other patient in the bed was moving -- wh and his sheet stard to rise. so i
