1. The man, Ki Suk Han, was pushed down to the tracks by a panhandler, he was not strong enough to escape before getting hit by the train. The photographer, Abbasi, was running, using his camera flash to warn the train operator, that's how he got the photo.
2. The photographer said that he took the photo because he was unable to help Han himself.
3. I think that the photographer was right to take the photo, but wrong not to even try to help Han.
4. I do not think he did the best he could've done in the situation, I think he could've really helped Han out of there.
5. I do agree with running the photo on the front of the New York Post, it really draws attention to the situation, maybe there can be gates on the sides of the tracks?
6. I think that it honestly depends on the person, in my opinion, I think that I'd try to help, then take a photo.
7. Yes I do think it's ethical to go and get involved with the situation, trying to save somebody's life for instance.
8. No, I think that photojournalists shouldn't influence things if it'll benefit the situation better by helping.
9. At least try to help, even if you fail, you'd still make the effort and that's what matters.
