Re: NY Post Runs Cover Photo of Man About to Die

[Randy Little <randyslittle@xxxxxxxxx>]

First rule of life saving is simple.   Don't endanger 2 lives especially if you are not a professional.    A tragedy for one person could have easily been 2 if in his panic to get out he pulled a rescuer in with him.   Please step out of your ice cream social world and realize that EVERY SINGLE PERSON on that platform did the RIGHT THING but not making this 2 dead people.   Now if there was a qualified first responder on the platform who literally did nothing.   Then there would be more to be agrue about.

Reports indicate he was on the tracks for at least 90 seconds. There were people much closer to the victim than the photographer. Perhaps people were afraid to help since he was pushed off by another person. It is tragic and the photograph just makes it more real for people who weren't there.
