“Trying to signal the train operator was probably the wisest thing to try”

Isn’t it amazing how well composed his accidental shots are when he was simply trying to warn the operator with his flash?

If I were warning someone with a flashing light I’d be sure to point it right at them. Makes sense, right? And since the flash is pointing where the camera is focused...I’d expect the operator of the train to be the center of the shot.

Yet they’re so well composed.

Crazy luck, that.

As for punishment...what punishment could there be?

But don’t stand by and watch a man die so that you can get a great shot...and then expect people to like you.

So that, when coming out of a dark tunnel, you can dilate their pupils and they won't see what you're trying to warn them about?

As I think about what was probably going on during the scene, especially how fast those trains pull in, I'm surprised anyone thought to do anything.
