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:

"It shouldn't have happened, I mean there was no threat assessment for Riyadh at that time."

"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."
