America angry, remorseful about Korean's death in New York subway There is anger and remorse in America about the death of a Korean in a New York subway. The American society as a whole is beating itself up over the death of the 58-year-old Han Ki-suck. The New York Times asked in one of its articles, “What would I have done if I was there at the scene of the incident?” adding that this is a question that will linger on for a long, long time. It went on to say the incident occurred when the Korean man approached the African American for misbehaving in public, after which the latter pushed the former over the ledge. Despite what happened, no one was ready to help the Korean man, thus creating a serious concern about social morality. Umar Abbasi, a freelance photographer for the New York Post, said he was surprised and dismayed that no one was willing to help Han although he himself is under heavy criticism for taking the photo without getting Han out of the rail tracks. There were 22 seconds from the time that Han was pushed onto the tracks to the time that the train hit him and people were simply busy taking photos with their mobile phones, Abbasi said. Abbasi said in his defense that he was hundreds of feet away from the tracks when he saw what was happening and took the photos. There was little he could do, he said.
