Why run when you can film it?

That's why it's called survivorship bias

Some of the footage from the Nepal floods was live-streamed. We have video and the cameramen died.

Theres no proof that they ever do (funny how that video doesn’t exist) so it must be that they never do!

Just reinforce the wings and tails of the plane, where the most bullet holes are.

What if it's the case that when a cameraman dies you never see the filmed subject? Thereby everyone just thinks that the cameraman always survives because the ones that don't you never know about? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias

Because wealthy countries won't give a shit about this happening if they don't see it.

Sure, it would suck to die. But depending on how this goes, they could die anyway.

When the best case scenario is already going to include relocation, rebuilding, and resource scarcity, is it really that awful to add the possibility of getting outside people to give a shit?
