ScottyDoo, I would have thought footage like his would be very important in the post-crash investigation.
And unless you have some special first-hand knowledge from having been a passenger on board, you might want to watch yourself with suggestions like:
...to lever yourself out of the wreck whilst taking the time to grab your camera and then run to safety, possibly abandoning your colleague???
The cameraman's contribution will be his footage. It could help work out what caused this tragedy. And that's the least we owe those who've perished in this disaster.
Those who survived (including the cameraman) will have to live with the consequences of what they did and didn't do for many days yet.
