ABC's Charles Gibson & Diane Sawyer
The impact of a IED on a Iraqi roadside would reverberate around the world and through the years to change television news history.
Charlie Gibson planned on retiring from ABC News in 2007, after an amazing run on Good Morning America. He had been on assignment on some of the biggest stories of the late 20th Century, including the Oklahoma City bombing, the 9/11 attacks, and the Columbia space shuttle accident. Upon the death of Peter Jennings to lung cancer, ABC had planned a twin-anchor, male/female approach to World News featuring two of its fast rising stars: Bob Woodruff and Elizabeth Vargas.
But then in the early days of the matchup, Bob Woodruff went to the war zone in Iraq, and that bomb exploded.
