Tom Mintier (December 1, 1947 – September 18, 2016) was a correspondent for CNN who covered a number of historic events.[1]

Career

[edit]

He was hired by CNN in 1980.[1] In 1986, Mintier was one of only two TV broadcasters live on-air when the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred (the other being Kent Shocknek).[2][3]

In November 1989, he reported live from the Brandenburg Gate at the Berlin Wall. In April 1992, he became the CNN Bangkok, Thailand bureau chief.[1] While still a correspondent for CNN, he was also located at the United States Central Command near Doha, Qatar, at the start of the Iraq war.[4]

In August 1999, he reported live from Pristina, Kosovo, following the NATO victory over the invading Serbian armed forces.

On January 1, 2000, he was the CNN London bureau chief.[5][6] He appeared in the 2004 documentary film Control Room and other films.[7][8] Mintier died in Thailand on September 18, 2016.[9][10]
