A freelance photographer captured the image Monday after someone shoved a man, 58-year-old Ki-Suck Han, from a subway platform near Times Square.
Seconds after photographer R. Umar Abbasi captured the images, the train fatally struck Ki. He died at a New York Hospital, leaving behind a wife and daughter.

“I just started running, running, hoping that the driver could see my flash,” the newspaper quoted him as saying
Why didn’t the photographer help? Why did the newspaper publish the photo?
“NY Post should be ashamed of its misuse of humanity for its cover photo of a man about to be killed by a subway train,” one person wrote on Twitter. “When does cruelty end.
Patrick Gomez, who admitted that he also ‘froze’ at the scene, said it was a ‘real shame’ that no-one had the courage to ‘step up’ and attempt to rescue Ki Suk Han, 58, after he was pushed onto the line at the New York subway station yesterday afternoon.
Gomez, 37, said: 'People who were on the platform could have pulled him up but they didn't have the courage. They just didn't react like that.'
How sick is the world we are living now when people are to busy taking pictures of someone who is about to die instead of helping him and there is so many other examples like that little chinese girl who got it by a truck twice and it took almost 15 min before someone did something.
