Christmas Day Nashville Bombing
This past Christmas Day was a bit out of the ordinary for us - to say the least. As my daughter and I were finishing unwrapping our Christmas gifts and I was just about to make breakfast, a call from Berlin, Germany came up on my phone. I ignored it. Then the emails came through. DW news in Berlin was needing a correspondent for coverage on the Christmas Day bombing in Downtown Nashville and were asking if I was interested in going live throughout the day. I explained the situation to my nine-year-old and got right to work. I did live hits at the top of the hour throughout the day on the rapidly updating situation. My daughter understood that that’s just what her dad does - except this morning I was on the screen instead of in the credits.
