What the coverage shows

All three outlets converge on the same basic framing: a man was killed after a bag snagged in a New York subway train door and he was dragged by the train. ABC News and South China Morning Post both identify the man as Yaw Boahene, 57, and place the incident during the Monday evening rush-hour commute at a Brooklyn station, while The Independent is the only one to say he was pulled onto the tracks and run over as the train left the station.
