Edit: There's also an article describing this in English from the Telegraph here.
I don't mind the body falling at 9 seconds--so long as they were sure the person was dead first they shouldn't have tried to recover it before getting the train car out of that precarious position.

I do agree 2:56 is not justified but from that video at least I can't tell it's a body.

The titles mean nothing to me, I speak only a couple dozen words of Chinese and read even less than that.
