Combat photography is a high risk profession. They were lucky not to have been killed

Combat photography is a high risk profession.

Amen to that.
A few weeks ago, I saw some documentary on a Brit combat
reporter/photographer.
It included footage of himself and a group of other reporters
in the Balkans (Bosnia?).
They were there for safety and the gunfire sounded like it was well
off in the distance.
Then, one of the reporters suddenly just falls back onto the ground.
He got hit in the head by a stray round; seriously injured, but
recovered.
Just darned unlucky to get hit; really lucky to not get killed.
