|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Reuters photographer recounts engine fire on plane Sean Popke, Photographer San Diego | CA | | Posted: 10:44 PM on 05.19.11 ->> Came across this blog post about a Reuters photographer that was on the Cathay Pacific flight that had an engine fire a few days ago. http://blogs.reuters.com/photo/2011/05/17/trading-fear-for-photos-on-a-stri.../ I don't have a family yet, but if I was in that situation, not sure if I would stay with my family or roam around and take photos. Tough call.  This post is:  Informative (2) | Funny (0) | Huh?

As hard as it may be for others to understand it's what we do. The plane wasn't nose diving into the ocean....make photos while you can....your family knows that's what you DO. It's actually very calming. So no, it wasn't a tough call at all. It was a no brainer.  This post is:  Informative (6) | Funny (1) | Huh?

Boner, Photographer, Photo Editor Jackson | WY | USA | Posted: 2:26 AM on 05.20.11 ->> I wonder if the Reuters photographer had the passengers re-create their reactions to the situation after the plane was on the ground? http://www.sportsshooter.com/message_display.html?tid=38211 Just kidding (well, kinda)...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh?

I forgot my Canon EOS5dmk2 has a full HD video, so I forgot to record the situation. After 20 years living as a photographer, I was thinking as a photographer." That he was first a husband and father, and then thinking as a photographer, says much about this man.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
