*EXTRA CREDIT*

1. Suk Han was pushed on to the rail road tracks by an unidentified assailant, when the photographer Umar Abbasi saw this he took his camera out and shot some of Suk's last moments in effort to try to alert the train that was coming with his flash.

2. The photographer said he took this photo to try to alert the coming train with his flash on his camera.

3. I think the photographer should have not taken this photo, instead I think he should have tried to save this person instead of just watching him get killed.

4. I think the photographer did not do the best thing in his situation because he just watched Suk Han get run over by a train instead of helping the man.

5. I disagree with the decision to run the photo on the front page of the New York Post because that just shows that the photographer was taking his job more seriously instead of a man dyeing right in front of his eyes, that is just sad.

6. I think to a photojournalist capturing images of life as it happens is more important to them apparently because this photographer just let a poor ini sent man die right in front of him and didn't even bother to help or at least try to help him survive.

7. Yes it is ethically acceptable for a photographer to involve himself/herself in a situation that he or she photographs because they could save somebody or try to.

8. Photojournalists should never avoid influencing events as they happen because it could be a life crisis event that is happening.

9. The response that stands out the most to me is Bethany Swains response, I totally agree everything that she said in that comment.
