Fire for Effect. Fire and Forget.

Turkish media is reporting that veteran journalist Richard Engel, NBC's chief foreign correspondent and Middle East bureau chief, and his Turkish colleague Aziz Akyavas are currently missing in Syria.
Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reports that Engel and Akyavas haven't been in contact with NBC News since Thursday morning.


If you've ever watched NBC Nightly News, or The Today Show, as I have ever since I moved to the states, you've most definitely seen this guy. He's always out in the field, especially in ares such as Syria, Libya, Egypt... Anywhere right in the action of what's going on over there... He's apparently been out of contact for days with anyone. Figured I'd share this story with y'all.
I liked the guy :( Hopefully he's alright.

Would be very interesting to see what happens next
