The 大象传媒's Frank Gardner on coming close to death
Sarah Walker asked Frank about that fateful trip to Saudi Arabia (in 2004.)
Frank Gardner:

"We were then handed over to the Ministry of Information...and they quite frankly didn't know what they were doing."
"My cameraman Simon Cumbers was killed with one bullet, and I had six bullets and survived. I had a incredible surgeon, but I was very very close to death, so I didn't think I was going to make it."
