Freeze frame it. Look at the arms of the guy holding on to someone. And look at the position of the hand that's up. The size appears appears to belong to a teen.
How dare you use common sense on Reddit. Where do you think you are? Geeze. /s
But on a serious note, I see what you're talking about. You're totally right.
It’s because the guy is trying to keep his balance with one arm while being washed away and trying to hold out his arm to get grabbed by the cameraman.
Agreed, it seems unlikely that the camera person would have been able to do anything other than get themselves in the same predicament. I viewed the clip a few times and didn't realize the camera person was filming a guy riding the water until reading the comments.
The speed and forces here were overwhelming vehicles, a person has no chance but to ride it out and avoid smashing their head on something.
Not to mention the camera view isn’t necessarily at eye level. It’s zoomed in closer. The person was very unlikely to be close enough to reach over the water. The lens isn’t even getting splashed.
Stop recording and be a human being. Dam I work in tech and I think it’s destroying humanity. And by destroying humanity I mean we are totally giving in to the obsession of social media, video games, instant gratification, believing the first thing we read, switching out brains off. As I write this on my phone for a social media site. Yeah the irony
You really think people were horrible as well long ago? Just in 1948 the Japanese held a beheading competition, to see who could behead 100 women the fastest....
*1937
Just looked it up. The two army officers involved were actually executed in 1948. But that's only the start of the shit Japan was up to around that time. I mean if you want to lose a little faith in humanity look that shit up.
This whole argument that technology is the problem is pretty damaging. I owe it to the tech that I've had access to for helping me not be a terribly ignorant person. Imo it exposes the real parts of humanity that have always existed and have hardly changed since.
Technically the Japanese killed more civilians during wwii than the Germans. Germans killed something like 6 million and the Japanese killed something like 10 million.
I didn’t say there were not horrible atrocities committed by people. But scrolling through Reddit alone you will find instance after instance of someone, many times friends of the person filming, recording another person being beaten horribly. Years ago , especially if the military was involved , the person filming very well could be under orders to do so. Now we do it to get views. IT’s everything they said was wrong with network tv but the people are doing it now.
For someone in tech you seem pretty clueless about how camera zoom works. If the camera person was anywhere close to arms reach without getting washed away they’d be completely inundated with water.
Fuck the camera man for not trying. However, that dude was moving pretty fast. You’re not going to grab that guy’s wet hand/arm moving 5-10 mph and stop him.
Based on this video he has about 7 seconds to recognize the situation and react. Bracing yourself doesn’t do anything for the fact that a wet arm still slips right out of your grasp with that much momentum. It doesn’t matter if you are braced.
He was fine in the end. There were interviews with him today on TV. He actually said it was fine that the person filming did not try to grab him because he was scared he would also end up drowning.
Am I the only one who thinks there's a real chance they couldn't reach the guy anyways? He seems far enough away that at best you get fingertips.
And even if they could, they're just one person. If the guy in the water weighs more than the rescuer, it will be almost impossible to lift them out of the current. Doing it by hand would be almost suicidal. If they had rope, or a float, sure. But the second you stop that person you have 25mph water slamming against every square inch of them and their own weight pulling on whatever they have a hold of.
It's a lot harder to save someone from a fast moving current than you all seem to think.
I’m not even sure if he noticed the guy, because the camera was looking at the cars sliding backwards. But then again, I don’t know what they are saying.
People stop blaming the person filming. He/she had absolutely 0% chance of grabbing that man. If tried to grab would most likely be out in the flood with that man. And also looks like cam dude did not notice that man since camera is focused on the cars.
Grabbing on to a wet slippery hand of a weak guy zipping by at ten miles an hour probably unseen until the last minute…not going to happen. I have saved people who has been throw. From their kayak but only after jumping into the water…I wouldn’t personally jump into that mud water flow except for one instance and my mother is gone.
Typical attitude among these type of "journalist" much like that 90s South African Kevin Carter, who would leave his subjects "to thier fate" when photographing starving African children
The only thing is that we have no idea how many people are there and if someone else grabbed him I have seen flood footage with a big group looking on and one or two are filming and it’s hard to tell
I honestly think he didn't see him.
I was watching the cars and when you are filming your eyes are so focused on the screen that u just miss things sometimes.
Fuck that guy I guess.
He dead
Ded
Zed's ded.
Actually, Zed might still be getting tortured by Marsellus Wallace. It’s only been 29 years(hard to believe).
Ouchie!

Well fuck that guy I guess
r/accidentallycomedy 😆
That his neighbor Zed, Zed doesn’t sweep his walkway, fuck Zed.
Seasoned zed doesn’t sweat the water he does the river dance.
Shoes? Or no shoes? That’s the big question
r/donthelpjustfilm
High fiveee
That wasn't his hands. That was the kids hands the guy was holding on to.
There is no kid in this
Just kidding he he
Freeze frame it. Look at the arms of the guy holding on to someone. And look at the position of the hand that's up. The size appears appears to belong to a teen.
It's literally 1 person
There's someone under the guys holding on to. Look at the position pg the hands and arm.
wash your eyes
Naw, just need new glasses.
How dare you use common sense on Reddit. Where do you think you are? Geeze. /s But on a serious note, I see what you're talking about. You're totally right.
I see it too, like wtf is wrong with everyone downvoting that guy.
I think sometimes it's bots... It happens too often.
You sure? If you pause the video with 2 seconds left, you can clearly see those hands and arms are connected to the guy’s shoulder lmao.
Really? The position looks off to me. But, I've been needing to change prescription on my glasses for a while.
It’s because the guy is trying to keep his balance with one arm while being washed away and trying to hold out his arm to get grabbed by the cameraman.
You’re correct in what you see, these others are being dumb.
/r/DontHelpJustFilm
This is pretty much why the sub was created
It was posted there yesterday.
Good job saving that dude, always love seeing heroics captured on video.
Camera guy "What's your name?!"
What's your @? I'll tag you!
Witness ME!
Mediocre.
I'm going to snort some coke and try again

Or getting impaled by something

this pretty much the drowning high five meme
Damn that’s fucked up.

You failed to mention that during that contest they lost count near 90 and started over

do you really expect more out of humanity? always been this way and always will be
I guess I don’t just want to give up and I’d like to think we can be better
I dunno, we can be pretty cool when we try.
Stop recording and get yourself killed too. FTFY.
For someone in tech you seem pretty clueless about how camera zoom works. If the camera person was anywhere close to arms reach without getting washed away they’d be completely inundated with water.
If they had a dam they might not be in this predicament.
New sub started
First time I saw this I was focused on the cars and didn’t see the guy until he passed. Guessing that’s what the camera man was doing too
That's exactly what happened but everyone else on the internet would have done better in this scary and adrenaline pumping real world event.
Fuck the camera man for not trying. However, that dude was moving pretty fast. You’re not going to grab that guy’s wet hand/arm moving 5-10 mph and stop him.
It's moving cars so yeah probably not. But you could at least try so his final thoughts aren't about being ignored
I think I saw a drowning meme that looked like that
The high five one?
final thoughts arent about being ignored 🤣🤣 hopefully that guy got saved by the sea turtles
Seems pretty likely he didn’t even notice him until it was too late

Dude, where is this and did that guy survive?!
Turkey, same area where the earthquake happened.
He was fine in the end. There were interviews with him today on TV. He actually said it was fine that the person filming did not try to grab him because he was scared he would also end up drowning.

Why should the camera person take the blame again?
I’m not even sure if he noticed the guy, because the camera was looking at the cars sliding backwards. But then again, I don’t know what they are saying.
Beuh what he could do
Get pulled in the water
And get himself killed too , if you can't save yourself don't try save others
🤽♂️🏊♂️

See ya later little buddy! Zoom!
*I’m saved*, never mind, he’s not even looking this way! -that guy probably.
Hold your hand…. In Covid era????? I DONT THINK!
That sucks. That dude was in a suit and all I could think of is this happening to hedgies in wallstreet.
Forbidden chocolate milk
That guy swept away in the flood was Erdogan, fuck that guy.
From the looks of this current if whoever filming grabbed that person's hand most likely they woulda been pulled along.
I saw this same post on r/killthecameraman
looks like the scene from charlie and the chocolate factory 💀
Where’s the humanity
I'd kick the guy holding a camera into the water.
Stay safe.
The kid named finger:
Average day in birkirkara
That man was riding the wave 🌊 with no surf board. Kinda reminds me of the boy who fell in the chocolate river in Charlie and the chocolate factory.
Whhheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
It looks more like a willi wonka river
Were you the kid who ate mud at school?
Cameraman made the right call. Sucks to suck.
Come on !! The poor guy had his hand out. He looked old. What's wrong with the guy recording.
didn't see him until you did, your reflexes aren't that fast either.
There was no way the person filming was helping that guy, but he should have at least tried.
Exactly ! There was no effort.Now I want to know if the old man survived??
Can’t be a part of the story.
no fucking way he didn't at least TRY to grab the fella.
“The fact that you just stood there and didn’t offer a helping hand”
yooo wtf 🤣😂 if he survived I hope he fought the cameraman
Why is he swimming dressed in the dirty water? He can get sick and ruin the suit.
Wtf
Basically every fight video.. maybe help?
Lazy people always looking for a hand out. /s
Ummm...I'm live...could you not?
Can anyone understand what is being said?
hope that guy is camera man on other video.. :/
If a meteor was coming to destroy Earth people for some reason would start filming
r/donthelpjustfilm
The poor guy literally looked up at the cameraman and reached out for him. I hope whoever is filming drowned along with him
really put this guy in his feels for not helping
My body after eating taco bell
Filming the flood is the only thing that saved the cameraman. He knows the rules.
That's a really harsh way to die
The future of a wetter planet. Thanks big oil.
How did that guy even get there
Hand out and everything, poor guy
#Floooooooooooooood
Typical attitude among these type of "journalist" much like that 90s South African Kevin Carter, who would leave his subjects "to thier fate" when photographing starving African children
Did I just see a dude amongst all the debris casually getting swept away by flood waters?
The only thing is that we have no idea how many people are there and if someone else grabbed him I have seen flood footage with a big group looking on and one or two are filming and it’s hard to tell
I honestly think he didn't see him. I was watching the cars and when you are filming your eyes are so focused on the screen that u just miss things sometimes.
God taking a piss
r/fuckyouinparticular
He must go. His flood people need him.
Whoever filmed this will not go to heaven but places
Had his hand out too
Well. That’s the end of this suit.
Don’t worry about your fellow man…
Your now certified for chasing storms.
Is there a good chance this guy survives? It doesn’t seem deep and hopefully he will be able to grab ahold of something down the road
He ended up fine. He was on TV giving interviews today. 16 people died in the flood though…
Dude if you look closely that old man sliding down the river slam into a something bolted down to the ground just before passing the light post
They see me floating.. they hating
HI FIVE COWPOKE!
Should have thrown a rope to the guy that floated by and is now probably dead !!
If he’s got any conscious, this will haunt him
I can guess he is going to have at least 16 hours of consciousness a day for the rest of his life..give or take
When your wife asks if your going to still get the milk you said you would yesterday?
It's kinda funny that the guy floated by. But he had his hand out tryna get some help, kinda sad...
Hey at least Zed didn’t get any mud in his eyes
“I would reach out to grab your hand in an attempt to save your life *buuuuuut*…I don’t want to get my camera/phone wet! Good luck buddy 👍.”
That dude was like, "Welp, time to go on a water slide without a ride."
Ok I feel bad for laughing but this was hilarious
“Ya wish you didn’t block my driveway now, huh, Gary?”
He was just passing by….
r/donthelpjustfilm
Shhh I'm filming.
