Luckily for the Post, one of those flashes happened to be the picture they put on the front page.

I don't believe it for a second. It was more likely "holy **** I've got to get a picture of this life and death situation. "Hey bosses, you'll never believe the shot I got for you!"
Maybe he wasn't initially intending to take a picture of someone about to die, but I'm willing to bet he saw something dramatic and his freelance photographer instinct was to snap photos.
Then the New York post likely decided that they'd need a non morbid reason for why the photo was taken, and went "You were trying to warn the train conductor, and got a perfectly centered shot of the guy trying to climb up the platform".
