This has got to be the red flag. We cannot lose lives like this, anymore. Especially for something not worth dying for and around the holidays.
The city has got to build some kind of safety steps, or a mini ladder that's built against the wall in the train tracks, so if that someone is pushed, or accidentally fall into the tracks, they can easily climb up.
For some people -- or mainly the elderly like Ki-Kuk Han -- can't climb out of there. They would need couple of people to help them up, due to the fact how deep the path is to jump over and on the platform. If you're not young, a certain height and have no one in the trains to help you get out, you're dead.
Breaks on Trains: I find it amazing that the train conductor can see the man in the train tracks (as you can see from the New York Post front page photo, but I blacked out the victim because it's a horrible look) and cannot stop the train. The conductor can see the victim clear as day and he can't stop the train ? I'm not saying that's the conductor's fault, but it's the cities' fault for not making trains safer, and more modern.
There's got to be enhance breaks for the conductor to stop the train. They might as well have robots ride the trains. What's the use of having conductors riding the trains if they can't stop a train when they see a person stuck in the tracks. And don't tell me they can't build breaks for the train to stop immediately, in this day-in-age where everything is full of technology.
It's All About The Money: All mayor Michael Bloomberg cares about is raising money for subway transportation. He cares about raising it and people jumping over turnstiles to get in for free.
It's hilarious how they're always undercover cops dressed in regular clothing at train stations, trying to catch pedestrians jumping over turnstiles as if they're trying to catch a drug kingpin. But when there's someone getting beaten up and robbed in trains, or thrown into tracks, they're never there ! But people jumping over turnstiles for a free ride is a criminal ! How dare they get to Manhattan for free to enjoy themselves ! ... O_O
If You Find Problems In Platforms: A couple of months ago, I encounter two dudes who wanted to fight me on the train platform. I wanted to get to the other side, though I had to get pass them but didn't want to because I had to walk in between a thin platform ground and the two guys. So I asked the guys if I could get by, they got nasty for some reason and try to provoke me. Then, right way I though about where I was -- and just walked away from the two men, to the other end of the platform. I didn't care if I looked like a punk or afraid, I just cared about me not falling on the tracks and dying for two jerks, for over something stupid.
So if you get into a problem with someone on a train station platform, don't bother. Not only you can cost your life, but they'll be no cops around to help you.
