Close calls for journalists caught on video

Journalists will frequently put their lives on the line in the hunt for a good story.

Footage shows Odd Karsten Tveit, a famous Norwegian journalist and war correspondent reporting from the West Bank in the 90s.

Tveit continues his report while Palestinian soldiers open fire behind him.

Earlier this week, footage emegred showing veteran CNN reporter Anderson Cooper flinching during a live broadcast after a bomb exploded nearby.

The video shows him ducking for cover after the bomb explodes close to the location of his live broadcast in Gaza.

"Whoa. That was a rather large explosion," said Cooper.

"That was probably the loudest explosion we've heard really in the past hour."

The explosion set off several car alarms.

We've collected videos of journalists who have had near-death experiences while on the job.
