The Day Qaddafi Died

It's a historic day - Colonel Qaddafi is dead.

Working in a newsroom in Argentina, I get to watch news on several different TV channels all day long to keep an eye on local coverage while writing my own energy and financial news for a big international multimedia company. Today was an unforgettable day in terms of news coverage. Let's just say the Argentine media doesn't censor violent and gruesome images quite as much as we do in England, so all day long I watched as images of the Libyan dictator's severed, bloody head popped repeatedly onto my TV screens. It didn't make it easy to concentrate on my meager commodities stories...

I don't think I'll forget this one easily.
