Two photographers, Chris Hondros and Tim Hetherington, were killed in Misratah, Libya nearly two years ago while covering the conflict. Tim had just taken a photo showing a bullet hole in a helmet when they were hit by a mortar blast. Tim was conscious but bleeding heavily from his wounds, which may have been treatable if first aid was available. Chris was found unresponsive and died from his injuries. Both photographers died shortly after at the hospital from their wounds sustained in the attack.

2. Remembering Chris Hondros and Tim Hetherington
Nearly two years ago, photographers Chris Hondros and Tim
Hetherington were killed in Misratah, Libya. Tim had just taken a photo of
a helmet punctured by a bullet hole when the mortar blast took him. Like
much of his work, Hetherington’s last photo is ominous without being
overtly brutal — suggesting violence rather than graphically showing it.
In the wake of the explosion he was conscious but bleeding heavily. The
wound probably could have been treated successfully if the rebels and
journalists that accompanied him knew first aid. Meanwhile, Chris lay a
few feet away, unresponsive and dying from his own grievous injuries. In
video filmed by Libyan rebels and posted on YouTube, doctors frantically
try to resuscitate the photographers in Misratah’s hospital. Both Tim and
Chris died shortly after.
