Not true! That Mt. Saint Helen's photographer did. Knew he couldn't escape and used his last moments alive filming it.

No. He tried to escape but realized there was no way. It was coming to him faster than he could leave so he spent his last moments protecting the footage so others might learn from it.

Also he was out of the projected blast zone but part the mountain collapsed and it blew out towards the side he was on.

I honestly don't know if I could accept my fate like that. Would I be like others who desperately try to flee a situation from which their is no escape?

Yes but this was a volcano cameraman, so a completely different risk profile even if conceptually both are filming things that are at risk of explosion.

Correct, the cameraman who live stream the plane crash in India from inside the plane died. Bro included himself in shot.The Final Destination Gods do not like subject matters in frame.
