Very sad.

I felt like I had been punched in the gut when I heard this. I had corresponded with Tim on a few occasions, and found him to be honest, genuine, and just a good guy.
RIP Tim, and thanks.

Damn. RIP, sir.

One of those things you have to know could happen at any time when doing a job like that.

Sad, indeed. Restrepo was one of the best war documentaries I've seen.

RIP

RIP. I think I would have rather gone out in Restrepo vs Libya.

What a loss to Sebastian Junger. I wonder if he was there with him.

Dang! RIP.

From Restrepo Facebook page
It is with great sadness we learned that our son and brother photographer and filmmaker Tim Hetherington was killed today in Misrata, Libya by a rocket-propelled grenade. Tim will be remembered for his amazing images and his Academy Award nominated docume...ntary “Restrepo” which he co-produced with his friend Sebastian Junger. Tim was in Libya to continue his ongoing multimedia project to highlight humanitarian issues during time of war and conflict. He will be forever missed. - The Hetherington Family

I'm putting you on my list of top DFWM r-tards.

I remember thinking that those journalists were balls crazy the first time I watched Restrepo. They had to love the adrenaline highs enough to be able to face that shit.

I was very sad to hear this. As a photography enthusiast and service member I admired Mr. Hetherington's work. RIP
