A Time magazine reporter suffered severe shrapnel wounds and lost his hand after a grenade was tossed into a Humvee that was also carrying a Time photographer and two U.S. soldiers. The reporter, Michael Weisskopf, reportedly picked up the grenade and tossed it out of the vehicle. According to a report from Time the grenade would have likely killed everyone in the Humvee if Weisskopf hadn’t thrown it out. Also injured in the attack was well known war photographer James Nachtwey who was the subject of a 2001 Oscar-nominated documentary called “War Photographer.”
