I was a coward and left a family to die

It's really hard to be logical during chaos, even if it sounds inexcusable to save plastic over people. You turn into an entirely different person under that amount of stress.

But even if you blame yourself, does it help you to wallow in guilt? Does it help the family members of the victims, for you to feel this way?

It doesn't help anyone, because you should let the past be the past. So when tragedy strikes again, you take the chance to redeem yourself. Turning this guilt into an energy you thought you never had, this fire under you ass that burns more than any flame could in the physical world, to fight for the best outcome even if it means you'll be in a worse one.
