I've often wondered if, in a similar situation, I would have the  
presence of mind (or idiocy, depending upon your perspective of the  
situation) to both:

  1. Take pictures of the crisis as it occurs, and
  2. grab at least the SD card out of the camera before running for my  
life.

I suppose with the fiddly two-handed approach required to open the SD  
door on the K10D, there wasn't a chance.
