Reading an account of the explosion, all I can say is Woodruff and Vogt are damn lucky they didn't join the ranks of the 61 journalists and 23 media support workers killed in Iraq since March 2003, numbers it took almost twenty years to reach in America's last major conflict, Vietnam.  The only recent conflict to take the lives of so many journalists in so short a time was an internal civil war in Algeria (58 deaths from 1993-96).  Reporters Without Borders provides a recent listing of those who've fallen.
