Title: David Bloom, May he rest in peace
Post by catlind on Apr 6^th, 2003, 8:27am

Sorry for posting this to the board - I know it doesn't have anything to do with CH.

I just wanted to memorialize David Bloom somehow. I believe he was a pulitzer prize winning journalist. It's devastating news to hear that he has died.

May his family find peace and love in the days ahead.

He was without a doubt my favourite reporter.

(Can't believe I speled pullitzer rong ::) )

He was the best!!! I would go to MSNBC every day to check him riding on the A.P.V doing his news feeds. He was a "trip".

Even though it has nothing to do with C.H...They have reported him dying of a Pulmonary Embolism which can and is usually brought on by long periods of sitting or laying down...i.e. Long, Long plane trips and so on. So make sure to get up and move your legs every hour or so, when you will have to be sitting for long periods.

Rest in Peace, David.

I will miss him. He was connected in a way that few reporters can master. He was genuine.

He gave you the scoop w/o making it like People Magazine. Facts, issues, and heart.

Pulmonary Embolism is caused by a blood clot blocking the pulmonary artery; usually, the clot is thrown from the legs. First symptom is leg pain, which Mr. Bloom reported he had that day. Next is falling over because you can't breathe. By that time, it's too late. Dammit!

When I heard he called his wife and kids shortly before he died, I cried.

Why does God take the good guys so young?

This is a real shame, leaving this world so young and leaving behind such a young family. I honestly believe he past away doing what he loved, and right there in the thick of it. The world, in my opinion, lost one of the very best. Him and His reporting, especially on this war, will be remembered forever.

Rest in Peace David Bloom

We will remember.

Mikey, :'(
