Trading fear for photos on a stricken plane

I found this on a Snapsort FB post.

A Reuters photographer was on a flight with his family, when an engine caught fire. He grabbed his camera and captured what he must have thought were the last pictures he would ever take.

All I can say is, wow. I have also been in somewhat of a similar situation (not aircarft) where a fire broke out on a 50 yr old traning vessel, while I was in sea cadets. I was on fire station for part of the day. When it happens, you just revert to training and instinct. It is amazing how concentration and training changes into action.

I fly a lot and this situation has crossed my mind. I just got back from a overseas flight with my family.
Most of the time I fly alone and except the dangers, but when you fly with your family its a whole different ball game.
