WTF? Girl in China Run Over and ignored

And has been for a long time. I remember being on the Tube for the first time in about 1966, and asking my Londoner cousin what would happen if someone was trapped in the doors as the train moved off. She replied, that everyone would continue to read their paper, people don't want to get involved.

Nonsense. I've seen people trapped in the doors before (but the train wasn't moving) and people have helped them

so your argument is that 45 years ago one person in london felt this might be the case.
 
Trying to wade through all this crap to find out if the child in question is recovering, Anyone know?
 
I was ankle deep in dead babies as I fought for my place on the train this morning. Why do I live in this hell, I asked myself, as I brushed a tiny corpse off my seat and sat down wearily.
you must have had a good journey then, we're usually kneedeep in dead babies and fetuses on the bus i get - and you don't want to know about the train.
 
Has this actually been confirmed? Only there was a post on news aggregator site yesterday saying she'd died. Only to be immediately followed by a report saying she was still alive.

Sorry I'm just going by the post on the last page.

Stanley would be appalled by my lack of investigative rigour. :(
 
This thread has certainly been one of his more bizarre outbursts.

You can say that again. The 2-headed baby that he seemed confident was caused by Fukushima was also from China. That was pretty bizarre especially as it was only a few months after Fukushima went to poop, and you might think a 2nd head would need to start developing fairly early on during pregnancy. But Stanley saw a mutant Chernobyl lamb back in the day so no further proof is required.

Missed have missed that one....sounds entertaining though.
 
I like the way there's absolute outrage about chinese society (not on this thread but on facebook) about this, but no-one fluttered an eyelid when I was on a train at east croydon station with a man having a heart attack and train travellers were stepping over the paramedics and stopping them from doing any work because they all wanted to get onto another train to get work on time :facepalm:

Indeed. Was rather shocked a little when I saw a lorry hit a car and drag it along the motorway side on and I was the only person who bothered to stop.
 
People on Weibo are posting as if she's still alive, and can't find mention on any online news of her death, but that's no guarantee worst hasn't happened.
 
People in the UK are so quick to judge without looking in the mirror sometimes........

I think it's considered a bit different if it's a kid. You hear plenty of stories of bystanders during attacks/accidents etc. doing nothing. Doubt it'd be the same with a little girl though

You've got a lot more faith in the UK public than I have then...........
