Big Smile, No Teeth: Only morons would take disaster selfies

This week in Italy, an unfortunate woman was hit by a train, and as paramedics arrived to treat her injuries on the tracks in the middle of the station, a man stood nearby taking a selfie of the incident.

He had his fingers held up in a V. V for victory? The victory of not being the person on the tracks who got hit by the train? It’s ridiculous.
