<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbj4Vqs_Wf0&t=6">0:06</a> you know the journalist is good when they look at the camera man in the middle of a gun battle like it’s a regular Tuesday.

I'm glad that he survived all that unscathed and lived to tell about it. I was 16 years old, from Transylvania, visiting my sister in Bucharest at the time and found myself in the middle of it all. I even saw Ceausescu flying away in his helicopter from the roof of the HQ of the communist party building which was was right next to the hotel I was staying. Three years later, my sister and I joined my aunt in south Florida where we started a new life. Crazy but three years later, I was partying in South Beach Miami and driving my first car

I’m very proud to say the cameraman at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbj4Vqs_Wf0&t=842">14:02</a> is my granddad, Paul Douglas, who was also sadly taken from us during the Iraq war. ❤.

firing bullets at each other with intent to kill only to pause and get a wounded man out and continue afterwards is just madness

Quality old school reporting. I feel for the soldier in the firing squad. He did what he had to do and he knew it was needed. But he carries it with him. A compassionate man.

His footage is one of my favourites, it captured real side of urban warfare, you can't really see where exactly the enemies are, but you know they're in there, and they can hide in civilian disguise as well, absolute madness, just like in Iraq

as a romanian born in 84, I was 6 years old when all of this was happening, but I can still remember the convoy of tanks rolling down the highway from my hometown of Pitesti going to Bucharest, the political prison Pitesti was a "reeducation camp" where they tortured people into submision to the regime, thank you for covering this topic.<br><br>As a sidenote I am deeply sympathetic to the persian people and what is happening now in Iran, I pray the persians get their country back and prosper, much love to you brave people of Iran standing up to the dictator.
