Proving we're not
all surly loners, Canadian cameraman
Bert Dandy recently warned a group of first responders about a speeding fugitive headed their way. Once his station got hold of the tape they made great hay of it of course, but
the resulting footage does serve as a kind of public service spot: If a dude with a TV news camera is urgently trying to get your attention, give him a listen. He's either trying to save your life, quiz you on an odd topic or bum a light. Either way, you're the hero. It all reminds me of the time I stopped a local traffic cop from blindly stepping in front of a speeding bus. It was the least I could do, as I was the one who distracted him talk of wireless microphones and fleeting stardom. Powerful thing, fame...
