They have no idea how very quickly it happened. People think I had time to set the camera and take photos, and that isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the case. I just ran toward that train. \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6The sad part is, there were people who were close to the victim, who watched and didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do anything. You can see it in the pictures. The truth is I could not reach that man; if I could have, I would have.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Abbasi says the victim never screamed for help. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It was one of the most horrible things I have ever seen,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he says, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153to watch that man dying there. When it was over, I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look at the pictures.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
