Video has emerged of the moment a team of Turkish journalists came under fire in South Ossetia while covering the escalating conflict between Russia and Georgia.

A reporter was shot in the eye when their vehicle came under attack while driving through the South Ossetian capital, Tshinvali, on Sunday.

In footage shot by a camera rolling in the back of their car, Levent Ozturk, driving the team, said: "Friends, I got hit on the head. I am OK now, but in a few minutes..." Guray Ervin, a cameraman, was shot in the shoulder.

That video has good quality, but this you tube video is longer and also has subtitles.

Warning: Though it isn't graphic, it is disturbing.

It makes me want to cry; it's chilling. There is nothing else I can say about it. It gives me chills.

That video *did* make me cry. I had to talk my dad into putting on Spongebob.

This is so upsetting.

It also troubles me that I can find no information on what's happening in my local city's newspaper. Why not keep the people informed? It's upsetting.

This all looks rather bad for the world.
How am I not myself?



"The trouble with Borrowing another mind was, you always felt out of place when you got back to your own body, and Granny was the first person ever to read the mind of a building. Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages. 'Are you all right?' Granny nodded, and opened her windows. She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
