@cbsnews: Newly released surveillance footage shows the harrowing moments before a 40-year-old father of two was fatally stuck on an escalator outside of Boston while commuters walked right by, failing to stop and help. The man, identified as Steven McCluskey, was heading down an escalator on February 27 when he fell and an "article of clothing was caught in the escalator," the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority said in a statement. The MBTA called the incident a "terrible accident," adding that one of its employees brought the escalator to a stop and notified first responders. The man was taken to a hospital, where he died in March, the MBTA said.

The only point of this video is to ensure none of you become that person that doesn’t get help, ask if they need help, or simply help without being asked

people need to ask themselves, what if that was someone from my family and people just walked by when they needed help?... a little compassion goes a long way, be kind to your fellow humans people.
