Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: There is also the world media outside filming the survivors entering the hotel. To say it is a camera operator, while statistically true, can't be classed a mistake as we don't know if it's a member of the media.
This is the actual camera filming the shot. That's a mistake.
