1. The killed man wanted to calm down an angry passenger waiting on his train but he pushed him onto the tracks. After tries of getting off the track, he failed because he wasn't strong enough to lift himself. R. Umar Abbasi, the photographer who was there is a freelance photographer so he works for his own.
2. The photographer said he just took a photo to warn the incoming subway with the flash.
3. I'm actually not sure if it was ethically not so good that he took a photo instead of helping the man off the track. But I bet that I would've probably done the same thing because what if the man was so much heavier and I couldn't have lifted him. For sure everyone says they would have helped the man but I doubt that. I mean the flash was probably more help than bringing his self in danger or simply doing nothing.
4. It is hard to say if it was the best because we don't know the circumstances of the man on the track and how far or close the subway was. So I would say it was the best because he really tried to stop the subway as he tells and like I said it was more help than nothing.
5. I would agree with printing the photo on a front cover because it is a shocking picture and it stops people by and lead them to read the paper and of course it shows people more to be safe around subways and avoid to get in fights, etc. but I totally disagree with the head line ''doomed''. It is provocating and usually I like provocating headlines but I think this one is not appropriate because the man is dead and he probably had family and it is a real picture and not posed or something like that.
6. I think that is really difficult to answer because I think it depends on which situation you're talking about and what circumstances are given. But in general I would more likely say it you have to help the people in first line, if there's a chance to help them. If there's none than I probably would choose to take a picture. But I can't say it enough it always depends on the circumstances!!
7. Yes it is in my opinion. For example in the Subway case, he tried to help with taking a picture. And I think if there's a chance of helping the people WITH taking a picture, it is definitely ethically acceptable. BUT if the photographer just takes pictures to make money because a person is in life danger, then it is totally not acceptable.
8. No they shouldn't because it is their job to take pictures to capture events. But like I said if the people are in danger, they shouldn't choose their job, they should choose to help the people.
9. I would say ''How tasteless of the NY Post to publish such a grusome picture for this mans family to see. No one helped this man there were numerous videos and pictures being snapped, yet not one person tried to help save him. Disgusting. '' would be the most appropriate and understandable response because it is inappropriate of the NY Post. Also this photographer doesn't offend his ''fellow''.
