4. The Huffington Post has sports snuff films
Tue Dec 4, 2012, 09:35 PM

Almost every other week.

Also, I read that the photographer was running toward the train flashing his flash to try and get the engineers attention.

I think there needs to be public servant announcements telling people what to do if they fall on the tracks. For instance, running to the end of the station (if there is enough time) or climbing under the platform. Trying to pull yourself up is probably the worse thing. I wish people would discuss this.
