I only heard this morning about a new fad heating up in our glamorous urban centers.
Subway surfing!
It’s easy and fun to do. Just pick a train and hop onto the roof, preferably before it gets up to full speed. See the little guys in the video walking along the top of the train. I don’t know how fast New York subways go, or for how long the, um, “surfers” stay on. (I just looked it up: top speed, 55 mph.)
This has been going on for several years in cities all over the world. In 2018 in New York, the MTA reported 68 deaths, half of which they ruled to be suicides.
Yeahbut, yeahbut! You can get on YouTube!
Oh, well then! What’re we waiting for…?
