Maybe this is off topic but at many subway stations in Beijing and Shanghai this could not possibly happen because the tracks are separated from the platform by plexiglass windows. Who is the third world and who is the first?

The poor man. I have always stayed well back from the edge of the platform. Call me paranoid, but there are too many nuts out there.

Leave it to NYC to make a bigger deal about a picture of the crime than the POS filthy animal that pushed him onto the tracks.

This reminds me of a photo about 45-50 years ago from the NY Daily Mirror. The pic showed a man's decapitated body on the tracks. The head was on one side of the rail, the body on the other.

Don't remember if it was on front page or inside.

In Florida we have the Baker Act which permits a person to be detained if “He poses a danger to himself or others”. I would presume that this is the case in almost every other jurisdiction under different names. Our problem is that history has shown the ‘institutionalizing’ of the afflicted in a very poor light especially when the government uses a very liberal policy of commitment. From this policy comes the cases exposed in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. Yet, those extremes still leave the acute psychotics and paranoiacs who have no support structures and ARE A DANGER to the innocent public.

Obviously, a method and separation must be found but in the real world, the advocates for extreme rights for these deranged persons and the costs of incarceration weigh heavily against anything being done. God bless this man for his efforts and my prayers for his family and friends.

His name and address and his hangouts

People wonder how spectacles like the Roman colosseum could have happened in a supposedly “civilized” society... People being fed to lions... Gladiators fighting to the death... And such.

I would stipulate that we’re merely -—> <-— this far away from that. Any time now.

Rush showed traces of the ‘old’ Rush today, using absurdity to point out the absurd (Costas)- he used this one saying we can’t blame the pusher, we have to blame the train cause if it wasn’t running etc etc etc...

Rush kind of ‘attacked’ everything that had a remote chance of being involved in a violent crime, always shifting the ‘blame’ from the doer to an object that was there — and suggesting that Costas run a commentary on the evils of the innate object.

If the Food Stamp President had a son, he would be just like him .... pushing people onto train tracks!

When it comes down to it, the guy who pushed the man onto the subway tracks is no different than a drunk who kills someone while DUI.

Strange there are no others in the camera shot on the platform.

Too bad the guy didn’t lay down between the rails, or stand under the arches. Maybe he just stood up at the time of the photo getting his orientation. Train looks like it’s about 1/4-1/2 of a second away from him.

It is possible to survive an encounter with a subway train. There is a drainage ditch between the tracks. The fit will be tight and requires nerves of steel or just being unconscious but it can be done.

Here is a subway worker taking refuge in a wall alcove, apparently surviving a train passing him.

The fact that the victim was drinking probably didn't help matters. I have read that a suspect is being interviewed after being ID’ed by ex co-workers.
