Benjamin Hall, the Fox News reporter who was critically injured in Ukraine when the vehicle he was travelng in was hit by a missile or land mine earlier today posted an update about help health status on Twitter. For some reason, the tweet is gone now, but Hall mentioned he lost limbs, one eye and his earing after the attack in Ukraine. Benjamin Hall’s colleagues were killed in the attack.
Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall, who was seriously wounded after he was shot outside Kyiv while reporting on the war in Ukraine, said he is feeling “pretty damn lucky” to be alive despite losing limbs in the conflict.
“To sum it up, I’ve lost half a leg on one side and a foot on the other. One hand is being put together, one eye is no longer working, and my hearing is pretty blown… but all in all I feel pretty damn lucky to be here – and it is the people who got me here who are amazing!” Hall tweeted along with a photo of himself Thursday evening.
Hall wore an eyepatch over his left eye as he smiled from a hospital bed.
Hall was traveling inside of a vehicle on March 14 alongside cameraman and friend Pierre Zakrzewski, 55, and a Ukrainian fixer, journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova, 24, when Russian troops opened fire on the car.
Fox News confirmed that Zakrzewski and Kuvshynova died of their wounds. Hall was evacuated out of the country and transported to a hospital in Texas where he underwent several surgeries for his injuries.
