answers. and i just go out on stage, and there's the audience there. the way i used to open the show with, and knl o i would say, okay, bump up the lights. you guys have any questions, raise your hand. >> just completely random. >> i have no idea what they're going to ask. >> that's the best way, is want it? >> of course. but over the years when they ask about tim or harvey or vicky, i have told stories that have become sort of set pieces because i usually get those questions, but then i never know what anyone really is going to ask when i call on that lady in the pink or the guy in the red tie. >> anything can happen. the irony of the writing you do is when your mother first talked to you about writing, she didn't mean it in the most flattering way, did she? >> because i wrote and i was editor of my junior high paper and high school paper, and she alwa wanted to be a writer, and she said, honey, no matter what you look like, you can always write. >> not the most reverse flattery

other places that chris and i have covered together, sierra leone, kosovo, nigeria, we've tried to be as safe and practical as possible. that's one of the things that i really treasured about chris' professionalism was that he was always very, very safe. he realized the risks and he tried to minimize them as much as possible. so when i was traveling with chris, we would take as many precautions as we possibly could. we would travel in a group, you know, we would defer to caution as opposed to risk. we would make decisions as best we could make them in the field without realizing whether you're making the right decision toor e wrong decision. 99% of the time you tend to make the right decision and you're being cautious about it. but there are times when you just don't know which decision is right or wrong. unfortunately, that's what tim and chris found themselves in. >> all of our thoughts and

throughout his distinguished career and his work in libya was no exception. we wore working to support his family and fiancee as they receive this difficult news and are preparing to bring chris back to his family and friends in the united states. he'll be sorely missed. >> fred pleitgen is in libya. in misrata, what is it like there? what happens if you get injured while reporting in misrata and places like that? >> reporter: well, that was certainly when i was there, one of the most devastating things that we could think of about the thing that happened to chris and to tim was our worst nightmare scenario. if you go out to the front line in misrata and those neighborhoods that are being fought over, you have mortars, you have artillery flying around your head, also shooting is going on the whole time and rocket-propelled grenades are being fired through the ray leeways and streets.

and from some communication i've had with journalists that are on the scene in misrata, which is that some time in the late afternoon yesterday chris and tim were with a group of other journalists out on what i guess is called tripoli street in misrata. they came under fire and suffered some sort of explosive attack, whether it was rocket-propelled grenade or a mortar seems to be somewhat in question. but they were, of course, grievesously wounded and tim and chris didn't survive their wounds and were evacuated to a triage tent with two other journalists who were also wounded as well. so i don't know much more, frankly, than i think everybody else knows. >> the amazing thing, and you know it firsthand when covering this, i mean, you're clearly putting your life at risk just going to these places, yet sometimes you emerge unskaifted and sometimes you pay the

his colleagues and friends, one of his friends, cnn's pet peter bergen paid tribute to him last night. >> tim was a very empathetic person. he was interested in showing war as it is, like a lot of great war photographers. unfortunately, to show war as it is, you have to take considerable risks. there are sort of war junkies who will tell you about all the places they've been. >> right. >> tim was not of that ilk. he didn't rejoice in war. he was a very modest individual, humble. >> and we also had a chance in the last hour to speak to the best friend of chris hondros. he's the american photographer of getty images who also died of severe brain trauma hours after the same attack. he covered the hot spots going to places like kosovo, iran and afghanistan. getty remembered him this way. chris never shied away from the front line and having covered the world's major conflicts

friends and colleagues and family around the world, as i'm sure you can imagine. >> absolutely. it must be such a shock because didn't you just receive an e-mail from him yesterday about where they were moving, what their positions were in libya? >> yeah. i was in libya with chris and tim just a little over a week ago. and chris and i have maintained e-mail contact every day since then. in fact, yesterday morning he sent me an e-mail from misrata basically saying that everything was fine and stable and he was enjoying his assignment and getting some photographs and certainly giving no indication of any danger or threat to his safety. it was quite a shock shortly thereafter to receive the news. >> i imagine it is. and especially trying to sort of piece together the details. what do you know about what happened? >> you know, all i know really is what has been published.

they're both very, very experienced war and conflict journalists who have seen a lot of time in places like africa, afghanistan, iraq, and now here libya. both men, according to witnesses, from what we were hearing, were simply in the wrong spot at the wrong time, at some time in the afternoon an rpg landed by where they were, two others were injured. both chris and tim, as i said, are very, very -- very well experienced, they have a lot of experience in war zones, in conflicts. they are very well respected among the journalist community here. now, the libyan government says they do not target journalists and they don't target civilians, but what we're hearing on the ground from misurata, and humans rights groups is the libyan government is targeting civilians, is targeting everyone. i talked to one person who returned from misurata the other day and she said bullets are flying everywhere, no one is actually safe on the ground and this is something we're hearing tile and time again from the rebels, there are bullets flying everywhere,

ultimate price. it was actually chilling to see this video that you shot of chris talking about the rebel fighters. i just want people to see it so they have a sense of who we're talking about. >> these are just teenagers. they don't have weapons. they don't pretend to have weapons. we're standing out here with three or four armored trucks. we're standing out here with three or four trucks that actually have ammunition. so the libyan army is fully mortarized down the street with who knows how much. >> just give aus sense of the state of mind of you and chris and tim and everybody who went into this war zone with really no guarantees about your safety. what is that like? >> well, you know, every time you're in an environment like that, i think in the back of your mind you've realized that you may not come out of there. however, every journalist that i ran into in libya and in many

this group that chris and tim were a part of was also hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. if you get wounded there, you're in a lot of trouble. because, first of all, few hospitals that are still functioning there are capable of dealing with trauma. they're short on doctors and supplies. the biggest question is how do you get out of there? the only way out of misrata is a boat trip. and that's at least 20 hours. >> that's amazing. that gives you a picture of what happens not only if you survive the attack, but then trying to get aid after the fact. the other thing, fred, that's interesting that i'd like for you to touch on is the difference in covering a war like this. if you're with the rebels, the rebels clearly there are not a professional army like we have in the united states of america. so let's say you're embedded with troop in iraq and afghanistan, at least you're in the same risk as those troops but they're far better equipped,

nominated director for estrapo. this is the e-mail he wrote you. after he didn't win, he wrote, while we didn't get to take home the little gold man, going down the red carpet with the soldiers from the film was a highlight of my life. the film lives on. you wrote this e-mail pretty much sums him up. explain. >> it was all about -- they're telling the story. he had great empathy for the soldiers he was documenting. and he -- winning the oscar would have been great for tim but it wasn't the point. he was happy to just walk down that red carpet and to do it with the soldiers he spent more than a year with documenting living under some of the most dangerous conditions you can imagine. >> we know you also take risks in your reporting out there. we honor you for what you do too and our condolences. thank you. we need to take a break.
