Helicopter lifting refugees

[HappydaysArehere]

Just watched those poor desperate people being air lifted from mountain. The pilot was taking everyone he could manage to take off from the ground. Why were tv reporters and camera men on board? Surely crew could film with small camera. Their place could have been taken by several children and mothers.

why children and mothers? the men not as important to you?

I'm assuming it's not going to be the only trip the helicopter takes?
