With regards to other people on the platform, I don't think they weren't willing to help. I imagine by the time it takes your brain to think "oh shit, man in there...train coming", it's probably over.
DMP...very coincidental!
User, that's why I get a not-so-noble feeling about the photog. From what I heard, the people who were close to the platform during all of this basically saw the inevitable coming and started to turn and run away because they didn't want to witness the carnage. A doctor who was there said the victim was still alive after and was trying to protect the people around him from witnessing this. There is also rumor that he had confronted the "pusher" prior to the push.
There WAS a confrontation beforehand. Varying accounts.
Another report says that witnesses were busy videoing the man AFTER he was struck by the train. Sick stuff.
