World News Tonight anchorman Bob Woodruff and cameraman Doug Vogt arrived in the United States last night
and are being treated at National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. ABC says it considered moving the men to a
private hospital but decided against it since the military doctors have experience treating victims of bombings. The
picture at the right is of soldiers loading Woodruff on transport that would take him to a C-17 military plane in
Germany. You can see from all the medical instruments, his injuries are very serious. Woodruff's family reports that he
was hit in the face and brain with shrapnel when the Iraqi military vehicle he and Vogt were riding in hit a roadside
bomb just outside Baghdad, Iraq over the weekend. Vogt, on the other hand, is reportedly in much better condition. He
was laughing and making jokes while at the hospital in Germany, whereas Woodruff could barely open his eyes.
