Fox's Hall talks survival after nearly dying in Ukraine
A year after Russian bombs nearly killed him while reporting in Ukraine, Fox News' Benjamin Hall writes about the miracles that helped him survive — from the voice of his daughter urging him to get out of danger, to the harrowing journey that got him out of the country
NEW YORK (AP) — A year after nearly being killed by Russian bombs while covering the war in Ukraine, Fox News’ Benjamin Hall credits a relentless optimism -- and what he describes as an unexplained miracle -- for getting him through.
Truth is, it was probably several miracles that enabled Hall to sit in a cafe at Fox's New York headquarters recently to discuss the book he'd written about his ordeal.
There was the Ukrainian special forces officer driving by after the bombing who saw Hall's wave and put him in a car, the lucky train ride from Kyiv to Poland, the 30 — and counting — surgeries he's endured as he heals from the March 14, 2022, incident.
No story compares with the voice he heard when the second of three bombs left him torn apart and blacked out. He swears it was his daughter, Honor, then at home in London with her mother and sisters Iris and Hero.
