"WILLIAMSBURG, Brooklyn ( PIX11) - Two teen girls were found dead at a Brooklyn subway station early Saturday morning after subway surfing, sources told Nexstar's PIX11 News. The two girls were pronounced dead at the scene after authorities found them unconscious and unresponsive at the Marcy Ave/Broadway subway station in Williamsburg around 3:10 a.m., sources said. The girls were unidentified but appeared to be between 13 to 15-years-old, according to sources. Year to date, at least three people have died subway surfing."
"It's heartbreaking that two young girls are gone because they somehow thought riding outside a subway train was an acceptable game. Parents, teachers, and friends need to be clear with loved ones: getting on top of a subway car isn't "surfing"-it's suicide. I'm thinking of both the grieving families, and transit workers who discovered these children, all of whom have been horribly shaken by this tragedy."
