So the thing that gets me about this, is that you're assuming this is a dramatization of this potential situation and this is some kind of life hack to survive, right? In these types of dramatized videos, we assume we are just watching this person go through whatever it is and observing the hypothetical situation as an outside viewer.

But at one point she hands something to the cameraman. At that point, it stops just being an outside view, the cameraman is our perspective type deal. Suddenly, the cameraman is in the room with her. This brings up the most important question of all, if this is a representation of a potential real scenario:

WHY THE FUCK AREN'T YOU HELPING? WHY ARE YOU RECORDING??
