The situation: You are in the Midwest, and there is a huge flood in progress.
Many homes have been lost, water supplies compromised, and infrastructure
destroyed. You are a photographer out getting still photos for a news service,
traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes.

Suddenly, you stumble across a Marine helicopter crash. It's George Bush's
and he's struggling to keep from being swept away in a raging river and you have
the choice of rescuing him or getting a Pulitzer prize-winning photograph of the
death of a President.

What shutter speed would you use?
