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

This is a normal post 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.

This is a normal post 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.

This is a normal post the excuse is that the photographer was using their flash to alert the driver

This is a normal post 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.

This is a normal post 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...

This is a normal post I'm not sure what aspect is
the most depressing about that story.

This is a normal post 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

This is a normal post 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.

This is a normal post everything about this is just dreadful.
also, a fear of mine, which is why you shouldn't ague with a mentally unstable man on a subway platform.

This is a normal post I'm sure that pushing
is actually quite a common bad thought.

Add mental illness to that, and I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
