• '60 Minutes' Correspondent Bob Simon Dead After Car Crash in NYC

    What a crushing week for those working in journalism. Brian Williams seems to have an embellishment problem, Jon Stewart is "restless" and things at "The View" are so bad that even Barbara Walters will not return as a guest host. All that stuff seemed difficult until CBS was dealt a horrible blow last night, Feb. 11, when the car carrying legendary "60 Minutes" correspondent and industry icon Bob Simon careened out of control on the West Side Highway, resulting in a car crash so bad that Simon and the driver had to be cut out of the flattened vehicle. Unfortunately, Simon was pronounced dead at Roosevelt Hospital.
