NYC subway surfer, 15, pays the price as he's rushed to hospital with severe head trauma after smashing it atop train car
2022-06-25
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • A 15-year-old is in critical condition after a subway surfing stunt on Thursday

  • The teen struck his head and was found unconscious on the 7 train in Queens

  • Emergency workers pulled the bloodied teen down from the roof of the train while it was stopped at the 111th Street station in Richmond Hill

  • Grim video footage shows blood streaming down the train as the teen lay on top

  • He suffered severe head trauma and was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital

  • It's the latest subway surfing stunts, including one earlier this month where eight people surfed a moving train as it zoomed across the Williamsburg Bridge

Those of us that have ridden the Sub and Tube. Know, there ain't a whole hell of a lot car to tunnel roof clearance in some older tunnel sections.

Rail cars are 12ft high, rolling in 15 ft to 18+ ft. height tunnels.


BTW: Did they finally close the 2 Semi-Secret Cold War Gov. Facility Stations?
