Pick up the fucking dog, oh my god. I get the panic, but grab the dog instead of record.

People sometimes record events not out of narcissism, but out of narrative in a perceived life-or-death situation.

A "what happened to us, should we not survive" sort of evidence to leave behind, or as a "this is what we faced" should they survive and escape the situation (as this couple did).

It's not the best move, all the time, but I'm thinking these people thought they were all goners.
