*Words can't describe how much respect i give to that man...*
Yes, can't agree more
Just straight up accepted it, damn
wow
Million percent!!!
@@COCK_V4 well i guess he was righ though even ff he runs
he is a man of dedication, he knows he will only be remembered into history that is by doing some of the most insane things in the world imaginable, absolutely unbelievable
Yea ik
Does anyone read history books?
@@activitus1958 I do
@@activitus1958 I do too. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I prefer to learn.
No one will remember him, even family after a while. You run no matter what and never give up. Period.
Impossible a cameraman died
But major respect to this guy
A cameraman also died at the landing strip before the Johnstown Massacre in Guiana, that spawned the famous "drink the Kool-aid" phrase.

@@garywheeler7039 *jonestown
Guyana, while we are playing spellcheck, lol
Man of culture
“The man we didn’t need, but the man we deserve”
This man died preserving the pictures, so the world can see it
Dont deserve but need
I saw gray Elmer's glue in the background were those his pictures? Lol
Wrong sentence
Yes we totally deserve a sacrifice for some volcano pikture
your sentence should be "The man we needed but the man we don't deserve" or something like that, unless u mean what u say... 😕
Imagine facing death. And his moments are. "Imma fucking make sure someone else sees the this shit aswell"
He was still thinking, wow. Just thinking about it makes me give him some respect
i'm sure there was grace and humility in his last thoughts, and not some pompous rumination done as if he was going to kill a gang leader execution style.
I can't describe how I respect this man, he still have time to think about others before he was killed by the volcanic erruption
MY BIGGEST RESPECT TO HIM, R.I.P
Others: his camera
There's no way he could save himself, his camera was the only thing that could make it.
i also would try that
@@khabyreacter yes but how is taking pictures thinking about others 😆
@@NoName-xi3nm research
This man not only stared death right in the fricking eye, he also had the audacity to take a picture of it
Mad respect.
Death: I am here to take your soul
Camera guy: it's that time already? Well can I take my last picture?
Death: sure what do you want to take a picture of?
Camera guy: You good sir
Salute to him
Man knew his fate but he didn't give up, instead he accepted what was about to happen and took pictures, for the world to see.
A good lad, a great man, and a big heart. Respect, HUGE respect.
OMG what a brave man. Can’t imagine many people that are seconds/minutes away from dying, thinking of others and filming it all. Very brave man.
TikTok famous that do stupid challenge pretty much do this but they didn't die 😀
Ok
@@Inevitablesize. am a being a thick & naive lol? Is this true or not?
@@SarahLBanks yes it’s true, and also you should never accept defeat. If you’re faced with lava, run the other way no matter what……. Don’t take pictures, try to get back to your family. The guy was brave but damn…
@@Zentinel_85 ah yes,yeet away from lava comming at 100miles per hour
Such resolute devotion to his craft. A champion in the face of death.
@@pihulwaradkar167 And I think I'd join you
Man no wonder he killed the volcano
No, never give up. No one will remember his name, the photos or when or where it happened. You run.
@@Zentinel_85 it just happened :/
@@sunlight2739 No, it didn’t.
This man deserves a medal of honor for his bravery.
Except hes passed, unless they put it on his grave
"To achieve incredible things is to face danger even if it means death so that your achievement will be remembered in history." Respect and love for Robert.
this man died in a blaze of glory...he knew he wouldn't escape but he could contribute to history with the little moments he had
he has earned respect even after death...truly a legend
holy crap thanks for the likes
He literally died in a blaze LMAO
@@autoclicker5109 its not funny, bro.
pun intended?
@@autoclicker5109 I didn't mean as a joke I was a surprisingly well fitting line for this situation.
@@aninstrument2803 no.but really depends on how yo perceive it

IM SORRY BUT WHY DID I LAUGH AT THIS-
@@justamberish it was fate.
I got a feeling he might have killed three men with a pencil at a bar.
@@kiyeeet_3505 nah man you just think everybody is a killer.
I feel like the dude was called baba yaga
"Art is an explosion!"
Wish he could have seen his own pictures...
Oh-
“Nobody is born cool”
“Except of course”
People who sacrificed their lives just to take good pictures and save their camera
This man is a hero - he had honor! How many people would have the selflessness to use their last few moments of life to photograph the very thing that's coming to kill them in a minute? He deserves every bit of posthumous respect we can give him! It's bc of him that future generations will have pictures of that volcano erupting from his vantage point 🌋 something that will probably never happen again.
RIP ROBERT.
YOU WON'T BE FORGOTTEN!
Hero? Too much. But he does deserve respect.
Look up Indonesia's Mount merapi volcano erupts the man was killed by the pyrocastic flow after uploading it its jaw dropping
Multiple people would spend they’re last seconds on earth for a photo. Some for this and. Other for instagram likes
@@3phistory701 sad but true
How’s he a hero you fool at the end of the day he only took pictures a great did,sure but you’re blowing it out of proportion
Madlad going out in style by taking a picture of something no man has taken
@Rohan Joshua bo’le o’ wa’er, ma’e.
Cuppa tea
Literally helicopters exist for this they can take pictures of moon and not erupting volcano ? smh
@@sepantakiani7189 dude, he was going to die anyway so he took the pictures. Didn't you even hear what the dude in the video said?
There was a volcano in Indonesia where you can see the pyroclastic flow coming straight towards the camera man
They said the cameraman never dies, ONLY THE CAMERA DOES.
Robert was a man on focus, commitment and sheer fucking will.
Rest In Peace sir, we will never forget you.
You are now Immortal.
As a professional photographer, if I ever get into a situation where I know I’m not going to survive, I’d do all I could to save my camera too. That way it’ll hopefully bring comfort to my friends and family because they’ll know what happened and have something to remember me by. 💜
Dont do that..a camera is not worth as compared to your life.
If one has time think of God in the last moments and not your camera.
@@jayyn0298 because he was careless. Helicopter ? Maybe it will spark few ideas in your head. There is millions of different ways to do the same thing safer. Choosing to playing with fire is just stupid
@@billi16 you understand that is was going at 100 mph. Humans on foot could not in a thousand years outrun that.
@@billi16 might as well just do what he did.
@@sepantakiani7189 same goes to you. Never seen any helicopter shots of this stuff. He wasn’t “careless” he was doing the best he could in his last moments.
His life has ended, but the footage will live on. He knew that.
What a brave soul, sacrificing himself for history he will be remembered. One of the bravest cameraman that ever lived on Earth!
The man embraced his fate and left something for everyone to see that they never would otherwise.
God rest his soul.
Its remarkable to me when people do these kinds of things, knowing they won't survive and yet staying the course so others can see what happened. Its very noble, no doubt, I hope I'm never in such a situation and if I were I wonder how many tried to do something selfless but it was never discovered.
It’s actually once you realize you cannot live like zero hope, most people are at some strange peace with it.
This guy is a true legend not only his brave
He picture the final explosion then put it in his
Backpack and land himself in the backpack
What a nice legend photographer rip
Robert landsburg
His dedication will never be forgotten, those pictures are his final testament.
This was his way of preserving his legacy, in turn giving his life to do so. A true legend.
This is very tragic can't imagine how this poor man felt in his last moments of life.
He was on a mission & in the midths of that mission he faced imminent death,the clarity of mind to think of not only finishing but recording his last lonely moments! RIP to an awesome human!🙏🏼💞🕊️
Respect to this guy for sacrificing himself for the camera, what a underrated legend.
There's a lookout that marks where he stood. It's incredible. Born and raised in western washington, my favorite thing to do was play tourist. There are so many beautiful places in the state. He was a hero for thinking of more than himself. He sacrificed his life so we could see the real devastation. Bless his soul.
I've found the secret: at 00:59 we see the tell tale stitching of a great panoramic shot which is lined up nicely. In 1980? His Analog SLR camera would not have stitched those images together by itself. I know what your thinking, "Was it Faerie Magicke?" Good Heavens, no; the truth is arguably less convoluted.
Obviously, Mr Lansburg hadn't the time to piece his photographs into a wide panoramic picture; It takes many chemicals to develop film, and they would not have fit in his backpack. He must have quickly deduced that field-development would have been an ineffective use of his time.
So why do we see an anachronistic panoramic stitch in 1980 film? We know Mr Lansburg shielded his film, but he couldn't have anticipated the environment inside his bag would have been ~157 degrees centigrade. This is not enough to melt the cellulose nitrate the film was composed of, but sufficient to degrade the bromochloroiodide separating each frame. The vertical separations between each 35mm cell had indeed degraded and and effectively stitched together his last few photographs into an amazing five-wide panorama of the St. Helen's explosion.|
In modern times, we can take advantage of the auto-stitching of wide panoramic pictures saved on digital storage thanks to the Lansburg chip. Once more, at 00:59 we see the very first example of a panoramic stitch, joining pictures together. These days, there's a Lansburg chip on every device with a camera in it. That's not Faerie Magicke, it's just science.
That's why I say Lansburg, nice shot. What a good shot, man.
Excellent elucidation of this!
I didn’t read this but, *picture yes look*
👍👍Nice shot indeed.✌️
Can I ask if I understand that the heat actually melted the parts between the individual negatives to form a single picture? If this is even close to what your saying that's incredible!
good comment
like we even knew what you said there
I remember the morning that Mt. St. Helens erupted. I remember my dad running down the hall yelling at my mom that it was bad, really bad. Half of the Mountain blew up. I was 3 years old and I dont know hpw I remember that. But I also remember a few other things before my dad left.
Wow
I remember it too, even though I was living on the other side of the continent, and about the same age. It was a really BIG deal.
The human memory is terribly unreliable. Your brain likely developed that story over many years of hearing your parents talk about it, especially if their telling is infused with emotion.
@@followme8238 Probably for some people. I'm on the autistic spectrum, and have a nearly photographic memory, with my earliest clear memories being somewhere around my 2nd birthday, and having been confirmed by adults years later. This was one of the ones that I was not directly exposed to by adults, but remember seeing news coverage of, and I strongly remember blaming it on my new baby sister, who had been born a month before. Because to a 3 year old, *everything* is the new baby's fault!
@@neuralmute that’s an interesting facet & explains a lot
He's a man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will
That's the definition of dedicating your life for history and a once-in-a-lifetime moment, words can't describe this man such a brave and honorable Act to get a piece of nature that nobody else has ever.
Man this person is such a legend

Huge respect for him he sacrifices himself to take those and the results is great too but it's the worst when he turn into stone 😥

LEGENDS NEVER DIES
He is a true legend I have no words to describe him
off topic but your profile made me try to scratch off the hair strang without realizing it 😭😭
Not being a nerd but I think what killed Robert was a pyroclastic flow. I’ve seen the Mt. St. Helens documentary thingy and I sort of remember that it was a pyroclastic flow.
Oh my goodness that is just so heartbreaking! I just can't imagine all the time he had at the end what was going through his head ahhh so 😢 Sad!💔
*Me desperately trying get that fire selfie*
PLS-
So it's not the cameraman who never dies, it's the camera...
Also mad respect for Robert Landsburg, what a fucking legend
"no sacrifice, no victory "
Respect 100+
When I first read the title I thought it was about some idiot who thinks the camera is more important then his life. After hearing the story I finally undertsan that he has no hope of surviving so he did something nice for the world. Big respect
Him putting in so much dedication into his work, even risking his life for it
Meanwhile me not doing my project because i have use my brain
I can not put into words how much I respect that man. He thought about others before he thought about himself. To bad he’s gone now...
He’s very talented!! The pictures were absolutely amazing!!
Mans really took one for the team +100 respect
A Camera Man : *_Dies_*
Me : *"Impossible."*
But no joke, Rest In Peace robert. At least he dies protecting the one he truly cares about
MrBallen: “Straight up into the air”

A.K.A
NIGGA’Z WIT ATTITUDE:
He’s a man of passion, dedication, and sheer fucking will
That's what I called going out with a style, he owned every last second of his last moments, huge respect.
He knew his death was inevitable but with the final few moments he had he would do what no one has done or would do intentionally, takes a person who is settled in their mind and accepting of their fate to stand in the face of death and not cower to it, besides the man couldnt run because of the size of his cohones.
