Off topic: Subway jumper at 72 St/Broadway

Yesterday, October 11 at the uptown 1 platform at 72 st a young black man jumped in front of an oncoming 1 train.....I happened to be on the scene no more than 30 seconds after the accident.....I will keep the details short...I passed through the metrocard gate and immediately a dozen or so women are running towards the exit screaming to the MTA booth for help....."there is a man under the train!!!"

I go down the stairs and see the front of the train is in front of me, very few people stayed around to see what would unfold...no police at all on the scene for at least a minute...I could only see the feet of the body, they were still moving around. The consensus thus far is that the person died primarily by electrocution on the third rail.


This is where things start to be strange.....


-Absolutely ZERO media coverage of the accident
-After hearing a report from another witness, a bone chilling thought came to my mind....WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON??? The witness was on the platform and saw the whole thing, she claims that there was a white man filming (with a professional video camera) the entire thing from the platform, from the time before the person jumped, until he was forced to leave, where he resumed filming the event from the opposing downtown platform. Here is the creepy part....I saw the same exact man filming...at the time I was in some shock and only thought to myself "he must be really fucking lucky to get this on tape"....after hearing that he recorded the entire thing something seems very, very wrong. Was this a staged suicide???? If so, who the f**k is this guy with the camera and why is there no media coverage???
