Ben Anderson Inside Afghanistan Obama’s War Joao Silva Vice: So Ben, where were you when you were very nearly blown up last month? Ben Anderson: OK, and the British have left now, right? Were you filming for a new show? Panorama You were very close to getting blown up–what happened on that day in question? So how did the Marines deal with that? OK, so the bulldozers went first and then you’d follow? Kind of pinch points and bottle necks, stuff like that? So there were no fatalities? So that was towards the end of your time there? OK, and the other reason we’re talking to you is of course because of Joao Silva. He was in Afghanistan as well wasn’t he? If you like Joao’s photographs then you can buy one, and in doing so support Silva and his recovery. For more information and to buy prints go here. There you go, worthy blog post of the day. Back to mp3s and sex jokes now. You can catch Ben’s new on Monday 24th January on BBC 1 at 8.30pm.
