Re: Filming incidents
To add a bit of balance to the argument, I was once filming an event where an incident occurred that warranted the service of the Lancashire Air Ambulance. I told my colleague, who was an avid helicopter enthusiast, to put his video camera down out of respect for the people involved.
Years later, I was at a fundraiser for the same organisation. A pilot that my wife was telling the story to was sorely disappointed that we didn't film their arrival and work. They never get good professional live coverage of what they do. It's all either staged for promos, or live but the news cameras turn up either after they've gone or after they've done the bulk of their work.
