"Restrepo" co-director Tim Hetherington And Chris Hondros, an American Photojournalist Killed By A Rocket In Misrata

Sad News for PhotoJournalism community. Two photojournalists are killed and two others injured in rocket attack in Misrata, Libya. It's a sad day for the photojournalism community. Tim Hetherington, a British Photojournalist and co-director of the documentary "Restrepo," and Chris Hondros, an American Photojournalist with Getty Images, were killed by a rocket propelled grenade in Misrata. Two other photojournalists, Guy Martin and Michael Christopher Brown, were also injured, but less severely.

Photojournalist Tim Hetherington is seen in this undated handout image during an assignment for Vanity Fair Magazine at 'Restrepo' outpost in Afghanistan. Hetherington, the co-director of Oscar-nominated war documentary "Restrepo," died in the besieged Libyan town of Misrata on April 20, 2011, doctors said. He was among a group caught by mortar fire on Tripoli Street, the main thoroughfare leading into the centre of Misrata, the only major rebel-held town in western Libya and besieged by Muammar Gaddafi's forces for more than seven weeks.

See the video below to hear Hondros describe his motivation for doing such dangerous but important work and see several of his most amazing images.
