He saved my life last year -- I remembered his death and knew when my calf swelled that it was DVT -- rushed to the hospital and am alive today because I knew it was BAD. May his memory be eternal.
Same thing happened to me in 2006 and I remembered what happened to David and I rushed to the hospital. I don’t think the Bloom family understands how many Americans lives have been saved by David. We have never forgotten this great journalist. I can see i]him riding on the back of a hummer into the war and days later hearing that David passed away. May have never happened if he didn’t have to go to that war to report for us.
Same. It was a fear of mine for years after. And in 2023 obviously after covid. I had a DVT with bi lateral pulmonary embolism. But as luck would have it I can’t afford the blood thinners. So I take a low dose aspirin. Because the powers that be. Want either your money or your life.
I remember when David died and how shocked I was, along with millions of others. It was especially sad thinking about his wife and those three little girls not having him any more. I've thought about him over the years and am very happy to see not only the remembrances of him but now knowing the kids and his wife are doing great. Happy for her that she found love again, too.
In disbelief it’s been this long. He was an amazing reporter especially when it came to reporting the war in Iraq. Rest in heaven David Bloom, you were one of my favorite reporters.
I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. I can't believe it's been 20 years. He was my favorite. He was an amazing man and reporter. He is still missed.
Wow - amazing 20 years. I remember at the time, this was the first time I had heard about that blood clotting condition from sitting for long periods of time in cramped spaces. I still get up and walk around on flights thinking about this 20 years later.
His death is what put me into the habit of stopping the car every couple hours on long trips to make sure I walked around and stretched. I think about him every time I do it. 😢❤
I am one of David Bloom’s fans who was so shocked to hear his death from blood clots. To this day for some reason his face and name remains in my heart. He was so genuine and his reporting has been with us all these years yet hard to believe it has been 20 years! Whenever my husband and I go on airplane rides, my husband and I would get up and walk around thinking about the shock of David’s passing. God bless Melanie and his beautiful daughters!
Wow! I was a single dad at 39 twenty years ago. My daughter is also 29, I remember watching the news and hearing this sad story when David Passed. Glad to hear his daughters are doing well.
I was devastated when I learned of David’s passing and think of him from time to time … I loved him although only thru seeing him on tv. This was so touching and wonderful to see his precious daughters all grown up to be such amazing young women. He was so special and will never be forgotten. ❤
He was an unforgettable journalist in an historic episode of history. Never to be forgotten. Many of us were heartbroken for him and his family. Thankfully his wife and girls have moved forward and are doing well. Sadly, we all learn that life isn't fair. May God bless all of them!!!!
I remember this so clearly. It seems like such a short time, not 20 years. I was so moved by David's sudden passing and his family at the time. Good to see him remembered so well and loved so well, even after all this time has passed. May he rest in peace.
My mom knew how much I admired David and especially his coverage of the war. When he passed, she called me at work to tell me knowing I would be upset. He is missed for sure. I'm glad his family is doing so well.
Thanks for this. As a former journalist I still remember being stunned in the newsroom as I heard about his passing. Great to see how they're all doing.
I remember this incident and weirdly I still sometimes think about it. It was so shocking, just so unexpected to hear what happened. I'm so happy to see the moments of where are his family now
I'd been watching David as a kid when he was a Miami NBC reporter and followed him through his move to the national news. I was heart broken when he passed. So glad to see his family and how they are doing now.
RIP David Bloom. David found a way to blossom no matter the season no matter the circumstance personal or professional. He was a Wow of a man Whose zest for life, integrity, humility, pride and service will remain in our hearts. His delivery of message was so poignant it felt like he was sitting with you right in your very own living room.
I was horrified when I read about him, perhaps now he can rest in peace. MetLife denied his accidental death benefits, his grieving wife had to fight tooth and nails and finally awarded this badly needed money to pay for expenses .
I can't believe it's been 20 years. David Bloom was such a beloved journalist. It was so heartbreaking and tragic when he passed so young in his prime. He must be so proud that his daughters turned out so well. His wife did an amazing job ♡
He seemed so nice and I always enjoyed watching him and he made the news special. Can't believe it's been 20 yrs. I still remember him well. Such a nice family. ❤
I was a fan of David Bloom's reporting, and I remember being so shocked of the news hearing he unexpectedly passed from a blood clot!! He was a fantastic reporter!! I can't believe 20 years have passed!!
I watched it live when they announced it. Can’t wrap my head around it has been 20 years!! Superheroes that his wife found love again and that his girls are happy and healthy
I remember him well, and I remember tragic the loss was at the time of his passing. This video confirms that he left behind a beautiful legacy! Loved this video!
Wow! So weird that I was just thinking about him a few days ago! 20 yrs! I remember when that news came out, it was just so sad. I’m so happy to see his girls and wife doing so well.
Incredible. My heart goes out to them. I'm glad they're thriving I didn't know who David was... I'm the same age as his girls so I was too young, but watching this today, I'm very moved and glad they're in a good place.
I got to know David briefly when he was in college. He was a college debater at Claremont. He was a squad leader at a workshop I attended. Though I wasn't in his squad (also called labs), I met him and interacted with him several times during those weeks. Later, he stayed at the school between workshop sessions and came and visited a friend of mine. We all went out and goofed around one weekend. He was a super nice and funny guy back then. I didn't keep in touch (frankly, didn't really get to know him that well) but when I first started seeing him on NBC, I wasn't surprised. He was a terrific talent. I was deeply saddened by his passing.
I remember the last time I saw him on tv. He looked so worn and tired, I hardly recognized him. A great reporter, his daughters surely miss him. So do we, the viewing public ❤
David was a wonderful human being, and I still remember the moment when I learned from the news that he had passed away. Since I have had two episodes of pulmonary embolisms in my lungs, I think of David often, and I am so grateful that I am still here.
I remember this and it just devastated me then and makes me sad now. He was one of my favorite and he always respected our men and women in the military. One of the good one taken to soon.
I was talking about this the other day with a patient . This event made Deep Vein Thrombosis relatable, as it unfortunately has a face now. Sad that his family and colleagues lost this man so young.
I cannot believe it has been 20 years. It feels like yesterday that I used to love watching him report the news. He was a wonderful journalist.
Time flies. That was very sad. But blood clots are serious.
@@cocoaorange1 Some not.
I'm hear saying the same thing
@@NoOneHere2Day my sister almost died of one. I had brain surgery and i am scarèd because my legs get cramps so badly. Today i had a bad one
I've never forgotten him. I sent his wife a sympathy card and heard back from her. What a remarkable man. Always now in prayer.

Hard to believe he’s been gone for 20 years. One of my favorite journalists to ever watch
I am 71 years old. I remember watching David Bloom on TV. Rest In Paradise David. 🙏💙🙏

I think it is beautiful that his daughter would write to him. Thanks for sharing this story, David’s family is so beautiful and sweet.
I remember him well. Hard to believe it's been 20 years. He would be so proud of his girls..❤
I have thought about him over the years, such a loss.
Wow - amazing 20 years. I remember at the time, this was the first time I had heard about that blood clotting condition from sitting for long periods of time in cramped spaces. I still get up and walk around on flights thinking about this 20 years later.
GOTTA WALK AROUND EVEN WHEN USING A COMPUTER
IT HELPS YOUR BLOOD FLOW
His death is what put me into the habit of stopping the car every couple hours on long trips to make sure I walked around and stretched. I think about him every time I do it. 😢❤
That's how heavy D passed. Long flight to London
So, indirectly it would be the insurgency…
Thank you for this. An amazing person gone too soon.

20 years! How can that be! I was so, so sad when the news of his death was reported. Such a huge loss.
Wow, 20 years! I still remember when I heard he passed away. I enjoyed watching his news reports.
It’s so hard to loose a loving parent. My heart goes out to his family especially his girls ♥️🙏🏾
I always admired his bravery in journalism. He was a great reporter and family man. I’m glad he is being remembered 20 years later.❤
I was a teenager when he passed away but i definitely remember him reporting the news to us nightly. Your dad would be so proud of you three ladies.
I remember this so clearly. It seems like such a short time, not 20 years. I was so moved by David's sudden passing and his family at the time. Good to see him remembered so well and loved so well, even after all this time has passed. May he rest in peace.

Three beautiful girls. Your dad would have been proud beyond belief.
I remember this incident and weirdly I still sometimes think about it. It was so shocking, just so unexpected to hear what happened. I'm so happy to see the moments of where are his family now
Can't believe it's been 20 years already.
I never forgot him. Seemed like a great guy. Good family man.
20 years. It doesn't seem possible. He was a favorite of mine. Such a great reporter.
Those poor girls were so young when he passed. Glad they get to see how many people loved him.
What a great guy! Nice to hear this interview
Remember that day so well. Such a sad day.
I really respected this man. He always seemed so genuine and kind.
Can’t believe it’s been 20 years since David bloom died, may he rest in peace and may his incredible memory be a blessing.
My husband was in the ICU with a DVT in Jan of 2020 and it was just terrifying. This really hits home. It can happen to anyone.
I was 14, almost 15 when he died.. I was in 8th grade going into ninth grade. I forget how he died but I never have forgotten him. RIP
I was 15 junior in high school. I graduated HS 16.
I'd been watching David as a kid when he was a Miami NBC reporter and followed him through his move to the national news. I was heart broken when he passed. So glad to see his family and how they are doing now.
I was an intern when he worked at that station. I remember he used to practice his scripts out loud in the newsroom.
Woah, that’s awesome!
It’s truly such a tragedy.
A good man, handsome and kind.
Love & Light from Miami Shores🦚
Stay safe mate✌🏼🌎
I was crushed the day he died. He was just so good.

Chill bumps listening to his girls. I, too, cant believe its been 20 years.

Wow. It's frightening how quickly 20 years passes. I'm sorry that he was taken away from them so soon, but I'm happy that they have memories of him.
That was such a sad day. He was my favorite reporter and we followed him along as he was in Iraq. Hard to believe it’s been 20 years.
I loved watching his work. He mad me feel so comfortable and informed. Rest In Peace, David! 🌹
We need more great reporters like him!!😥😥😥
OMG! I can’t believe it has been 20 years beautiful family
