Cool as a cucumber!

1) Neat step back
2) Grab the shot
3) Go and help the victims

Note that (2) comes before (3)!

Exactly, he behaved impeccably...otherwise if they need halp he may have to help them and therefore lose the chance of getting any photos so best to get the pics first!

So did he lift the lens out of harm's way at the last moment or was that some form of impact from the car?

And what of the guy operating the video? Must have been darned close as well.

Having watched it again I suspect it was actually the driver seeing the old guy and lifting off that caused him to half-spin and get that close.
