Non-Political, nother reporter dies in Iraq, non-combat death.

[MrVicchio]

NEW YORK � NBC News correspondent David Bloom, one of the most recognizable reporters covering the war from the Iraqi desert, collapsed Sunday and died from a blood clot, the network said.





The 39-year-old co-anchor of the weekend Today show was traveling with troops about 25 miles south of Baghdad when he suddenly collapsed, said Allison Gollust, a spokeswoman for NBC News.

He was airlifted to a nearby field medical unit, where he was pronounced dead from a pulmonary embolism, Gollust said. She said his death was not combat related.

Bloom, a native of Edina, Minn., lived in the New York area with his wife, Melanie, and three daughters. He had been on assignment in Iraq for several weeks, reporting from the middle of desert sand storms and while columns of military vehicles rumbled toward Baghdad.

[TheRegurgitator]

isn't this political though?

[RandoMTerroR]

Hmmm its actually quite irrelevant...

Its just as relevant as any other person who just happens to die for some reason...

[MrVicchio]

Some people watch the today show, an anchor had an anyrusim, had he had it out in Chicago it owuld be here jsut the same...

The fact he was in Iraq makes no difference.

This is sad, David Bloom was a cool reporter. He wasnt one of those bloodsucking assholes, he was a guy who you could consider your friend :(

Im not trying to attract attention by being "mean" it's just I can't say I'm all that sad.

So someone died? because he's from the media we gotta honor him and make people feel sad about him dying? of course we do that's what the media do, important people get all the attention. You don't hear the list of people who die everyday on T.V now do you? only the famous people are heard of, it sickens me.

Had he been a common person we would have never heard of this "sadening story"



sorry Hamma :ugh:

[Spider]

Well you know it's true now don't you?

[Hamma]

I don't agree with you, no.

[Spider]

eh well just my 2 cents on the subject sorry to have upset you...

[RandoMTerroR]

I totally agree spider...

Had it been some random person, no one would have gived a damn, but bcoz he is a media person, we hear about it.

[MrVicchio]

So, the fact that he was a media person, someone more then 10 peopel knew, we shouldn't take note of it?


People die everyday, true, but not everyday does some die whom is known by more then 50 people.

I'm known by more than 50 people. Does that mean my death will be special as well?

*imagines death*

*People dancing in the streets, world peace, and everyone eats spam*

*shivers*

You guys dont seem to understand, So let me break this down for you.


David Bloom was an awesome reporter. One of those guys that wasnt annoying, old, wore a toupee, he was just a cheery guy. I have been watching him ALOT the past couple weeks, covering the war. He is a great reporter, I just felt like i knew the guy even though i didnt. Its sad to see great people pass away, Even if you didnt know them. With that said....


Rest in peace David Bloom
