About 20 years ago I was attacked on a New York City subway platform by somebody who looked just liked the guy in the video.

Fortunately, I was sitting on a bench near the center of the platform and was able to fight the guy off until police arrived.

Ever since then, I always make it a point to stand near the center of the platform, or against the wall if there is one, while waiting for the train.

In yesterday's incident, the victim was a sitting duck because he was standing so close to the tracks while arguing with the culprit.

This tragedy really hits home, because it almost happened to me 20 years ago.

I'm sure a few of the regulars here wish that it did.

NH,

Your not for banning public transportation are you? Because 1 rotten apple used a train to kill someone.

Of course not. Did my comment in any way suggest that? I was merely relating a personal story about the dangers of the New York City subway system.

This incident absolutely breaks my heart. It is not a joke. I think most people live their lives believing, if something happens, if they could call out, reach another person, catch someone's eye or get someone's attention, then there's a chance. A chance for someone to step in, someone to lend a hand, someone to go for help, something.

There were many people here who could have given that chance to this man and his family, yet he was very much alone.
