1. The man who was killed was named Ki Suk Han, and he was trying to calm someone who was panicking. The man who Ki Suk Han was trying to calm down pushed him into the tracks. Ki Suk Han was not able to get out by himself. The photographer claims that he tried to help him get out, but was not strong enough. Since he is a freelance photographer for the New York Post. His story is that he busted out his camera so that he could try, and get the conductors attention with the flash of his camera. He claims that the train just couldn't stop fast enough.
2. He Says that he was desperately trying to get the conductor to stop with his flash, and running around to cause him to stop.
3. If he was doing it for the right reasons then it's better, but that doesn't change how messed up it is.
4. I believe that if he is being honest, and actually was taking pictures with the flash for the right reasons. Then I think it was more appropriate. It's certainly better than imagining a man trying to escape death and being photographed as he was dying.
5. I don't think those photos should have ever been seen by the public. They definitely should not have been the cover, because its just morally wrong. They should have never even put it in the magazine.
6. The sad truth is that people will do almost anything for a story, so its probably more important to get the photo to a photojournalist.
7. I believe as photographer he should have kept his name out of it, and totally separated himself from the situation. That doesn't mean he shouldn't have helped still, but he should have not taken the pictures.
8. If he could have helped that poor man in the tracks, just as a normal person, he should have done the most to his capability. Then again he should have kept his lenses put away!
9. The other photographers did not believe him one bit it seems. Which shocks me, because those are like his people in a way. They still don't believe that the did his best, and they are surprised of his actions.
