Unless the photographer taking these photos was sitting on the seat of a Suzuki crotch rocket.

Judging from the surrounding land mass, it looks like they are in a fairly mountainous location. The photographer and other tourists there probably had amble opportunity to run or scramble up to a higher elevation in time. Just a nice sized hill of thirty feet or so would be enough.

The five people out on the seabed have no hope.

From the picture we know the camera survived, not sure about the photographer.

Actually, it was devestated. Most of the development on that island is on a low sandspit between two highlands. It was nearly picked clean.
