"Resolute": Benjamin Hall on embracing the challenge of recovery
CBSN
On March 14, 2022, Fox News correspondent Benjamin Ball and his crew, who were covering the war in Ukraine, traveled to the frontline town of Horenka with two Ukrainian soldiers, when their car was struck by Russian missiles.
"I reached for the door of the car, and I managed to get one foot out of the door," Hall said. "And then the third bomb hit the car itself. And I was out for, I'm not sure how long, but I woke up and I must be about 15, 20 feet from the car. I was on fire.
"I started to sort of gather where I was and what had happened. I was confused because I had no trousers or shoes on. I didn't quite figure out that it had burnt off. And, you know, my right foot had been largely blown off. And I can still sense what it was like – all the worries had gone. There was, like, one sole thing: survival. There was one thing: Get home."
