Jterry 43 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 CBS just did a Special Report on this as well. ...and Scott Pelley understandably looked like he had been a mess shortly before having to go to air with that.

Action Newsroom 1317 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Literally a shock. May he rest in peace. My condolences to his family.

rkolsen 1697 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 ...and Scott Pelley understandably looked like he had been a mess shortly before having to go to air with that. My condolences are with his family and CBS News. As for Scott Pelley I can't imagine having to go on the air to break this tragic news when you yourself just learned two hours ago. It's something no one should have to do and Scott handled it with class.
stevieboy247 43 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I just heard the news. Absolutely shocking and such a horrible loss. RIP Mr. Simon, you will be sorely missed.
mountainave 612 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 So very sad. Thinking of Bob, his family, and CBS. Here is "The Recyclers: From trash comes triumph" - a piece he had just won an Emmy for:
10Viewer 338 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Bob was a superb storyteller. What a tremendous loss.
NYNewsCoverage 310 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Will certainly miss him. He was always a very calming presence when on the air. Very surprising news, my condolences go out to his family and friends.
NEOMatrix 1308 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 RIP and may my condolences go out to the family.
