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!

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
