An eye-witness perspective

Previous posting of the Santika tragedy was based on what were reported in various news publications. There's always another side to a coin as an opinion piece from an eye-witness of the horrific tragedy provided some perspectives to those on the sidelines. Always a relief to know that there were some helping hands throughout the whole ordeal; although it is human nature to give this guy the flack. I would agree, however, that it is quite appaling to know that the bystanders would rather record people dying on their mobile phones rather than offering their help at that point in time. What's worse is that it really is not that hard to believe or imagine such actions from the public. Almost expected! Sad.
