阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
    Being pushed off the platform and onto the tracks is a subway passenger’s worst nightmare. On Dec 3 a man lost his life in Manhattan, US, when this happened.
    The man was pushed to his death by another passenger who was said to be emotionally unstable. He desperately tried to climb up as a train rushed toward him at high speed.   But he was not successful. His last moment of life was caught by photographer R. Umar Abbasi, and the photo became the cover story of the New York Post newspaper the next day. “Doomed,” the headline read. “Pushed on the subway track, this man is about to die.”
    The photographer and the New York Post soon received harsh criticism from the public. Most of them questioned why he took the picture instead of trying to save the man.
    R. Umar Abbasi explained he was too far away to reach the man, and that he tried to alert the train driver with his camera’s flash. However, most people were still critical. They said that he did a good job as a photographer but failed as a human being.
