Interesting Video, proved that guy's point. But, why didnt he go help instead of talk about it?

Reporters and photogs dont think to well at times. Even though they were not injured, from the angle of the shot they were standing in an area that accidents could spill over in.

Now If it was me and I knew I was doing a stand up at an intersection where accidents are common occurances, I would have set my shot up a lil further back out of the line of fire. On top of that I would keep in mind how idiotic people become when they see a camera and know they could be on TV.

FWIW, from KCWH Ch 12 news:

Immediately after the accident, Matt and photographer Kevin Rempe, were quick to help the accident victims. Matt finished his report and went to check on the drivers. Kevin called 911 and grabbed a fire extinguisher from our live truck after seeing chemicals from the airbag, which appeared to be smoke.

I was going to post this vid but I got so much flak for the posting of the video showing a guy that rolled his car (camera in his car) that I thought I'd better not. Glad to see it was simply an attack on the poster and not the video.

What you *didn't* see was the team of strippers behind the camera.

And instead of finishing the report..he should have rendered assistance right away...he's no better than the journalists in iraq that just film injured soldiers instead of putting down their cameras and helping them.

My brother is a scum sucking parasitic journalist. He's a few hour's drive away from you. I'm going to tell him to go egg your house.

Different situation. I don't believe journalists should help soldiers.

Totally agreed.

Help a soldier, become a target.

Journalists viewed as targets means no news, nothing, gets out. And then we might as well use our imaginations as to what's going on over there.

They aint soldiers, and I doubt they can even do CPR. They're there to report.

I saw one report that some imbedded journalists were about to take up weapons during the Iraq war. Apparently their unit was sorrounded by hundreds of enemy and engaged in a heavy firefight under some highway overpasses - the enemy was so close that even the wounded were firing from their strechers at the aid station. Their imbeded journalist said he was seriously considering putting down his camera and picking up a weapon to join the fight.

I agree about journalists in a war zone not becoming participants, to a point. I think Walter Cronkite put it well in his experiences flying aboard a B-17 in WW2 as a combat correspondant.

What did he say rpm?

im sorry but that reporter just had someone suffer a serious accident right behind him and he took ONE MINUTE yapping CRAP on the camera instead of going to help.

FYI, if you witness an accident and are in a position to help, and you DONT but rather stand by and watch the victims die, you can and will be arrested on murder charges.

Here in FLA we had a case of a driver gassing his car up, then he was attacked by 2 men, received several knife wounds and was left on the floor bleeding. the punks ran away on another car.

The survelliance camera showed another costumer park his car, gass his own car up WATCHING the victim on the floor BLEEDING to death. He did nothing, ,got on his car and drove off.

The victim died from his wounds.

The guy that just stood by and did nothing is in jail under murder charges.
