The problem here is the frame-of-reference thing.

An outside observer will see the "victim's" clock slow down.

The "victim" will not notice, so what will he see? From his point of view, he'll
reach the EH in finite time, so depending on what happens then, he *may* see
himself falling in.

How could that be?
