| I tend to agree with Randy…this is how even greater tragedies are created. I know…I lost a brother to drowning because he was trying to save someone. The nice thing for her family is that he was successful. That said, it's also how heroes are created. It's worth at least considering the 'what would I do if faced with x' question….not so much to figure out of you're a hero or not but to get a plan in your mind of how you might respond in a given situation so you're not frozen and rendered useless in a crisis. I have learned that lying between subway rails could save a life if a subway train is approaching. That bit of info is going into my hip pocket. May I never need it.

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. |
