Apparently St. Surin passed out headlong into the train as it was pulling out of the platform, and spent his last moments surrounded by riders who were funneled past him (as opposed to an alternate exit) by MTA workers. EMTs took such a long time to reach him because the Atlantic station is so hard to navigate. Really tragic- a sad loss of a family man, and a lot of traumatized people who were forced (because of MTA incompetence) to see a man dying in a pool of blood.

But we WANT an iPad for us, hence the disappointment.
