The pursuit of news

If you saw someone drowning and you could either save them or photograph the event... what kind of lens would you use?

-Whatever lens I had on at the time -- they might go down quickly.
-I'd use my 50mm. The shallow DOF would help keep the viewer focused on the drowner.
-My Fisheye.
-I'd set my camera to video mode, and film it while I rescued them.
-I'd take it in B&W - it's more dramatic.
-Depends, how cold is the water..... ?
