The Story Of The Car That Kept CNN Safe:
When an armored Land Rover was put on permanent display in the prestigious UK’s Imperial War Museum this month, it brought with it an incredible story of endurance, tenacity and survival.
The vehicle was originally used by CNN’s Christiane Amanpour during the Bosnian conflict of the 1990s after being purchased by the network’s now diplomatic editor, Nic Robertson.
It went on to serve CNN in hostile environments around the globe before going off on its own adventures, eventually being rescued and restored for posterity in the IWM’s American Air Museum, northeast of London.
