Someone shot a photo of a man pushed onto the tracks of the subway and didn't bother to help him.

It IS New York City, people tend to lose their humanity there.
The ire should be more directed at the a-hole who pushed him there in the first place.

I was going to write something about how climbing down is bloody dangerous.
Then I saw the photo and realised he was upright and trying to climb up. Yes, what a cunt.

oh, but its true.
of course that doesn't explain why she sent it to the NY Post.
edit: oh, and im not sure why she thought a train driver would come to a screeching halt because someone used flash photography.

Having been on a motorway, about 300 yards from an upturned car...
whilst driving at 70mph, I have to say the woman on the hard shoulder waving a jacket was in no way helpful.
I was thinking "what the hell is wrong with that... OH SHIIIIIIIT!".
I can imagine some flash photography isn't going to help someone who works in dark subterranean tunnels all day long.
Now - maybe he thought that....
Now - he had a camera with a flash - so there is some chance he was extremely far away, and additionally had a moderately good lens...

we've reached an age where a bystanders first thoughts are
1. Can I make money from this
2. How many hits would it get on YouTube
3. Could I be sued for helping
4. Shall I help

I reckon most people
would just freeze in shock rather than be in a state to help.
Seems weird that someone could be calm enough to get their camera out and take a picture, though. I suspect they would register highly on the psychopath test. As would the newspaper editor who had time to think.
