Default The Unflappable Rally Photographer

Three words: balls of steel. The guy nearly gets killed in what would have been a massively ugly accident, and a second later, he's snapping a picture. Clang clang!

So, do you think he will get more kudos for his calmness, or more flack for stopping to take a few shots before running to see if the driver was OK?

Good question. The clip hasn't gone viral - only about 3K views on YouTube - so the opinionated horde hasn't descended yet. My take? The guy is a photographer, and him snapping pictures for 1-2 seconds before going to help isn't a big deal - 1-2 seconds is not live/die time for the driver. Well, unless the car exploded next...

914085 views enough to determine viral? This is the link to the original video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFdGKeQph-Q , you linked to a copy that is removed now.

Ah, would you look at that! Thanks, I've updated the link. It's awful when people steal videos. I just had my first instance of that yesterday actually.

Kind of lame though that the original poster doesn't allow embedding on other sites though.
