The photographer who took and captioned the other photo saw the (white and/or Latino) people it depicts picking up goods that were already floating away.

Whilst I accept the technical explanation as legitimate, I wonder about the idea that collecting food and drink under these circumstances is described as "looting". I've always been dubious of the idea that a person, in survival mode, is engaging in theft. I have my doubts if others (i.e., non-"blacks" were engaing in the same activity that it would receive the same caption.
