"The dangerous trend of subway surfing has claimed two more young victims in New York City. On October 4, 12-year-old Zemfira Mukhtarov and her 13-year-old friend, Ebba Morina, tragically lost their lives in a train accident at the Marcy Avenue subway station in Brooklyn. "The education system needs to start teaching new lessons called, Common Sense, For Every Action there's a Reaction... there are Consequences," wrote one social media user."
"The fatal incident occurred in the early hours of October 4, when authorities responded to a 911 call just after 3 a.m. According to Zemfira's parents, who migrated to New York from Azerbaijan and Ukraine, their 12-year-old daughter had sneaked out of the house around midnight. She met up with Ebba, and together, the two were reportedly filming TikTok videos of the thrill-seeking activity while riding on top of a moving subway train."
"The deceased 12-year-old's parents were left distraught by the news and have set up a GoFundMe page to cover her funeral expenses. "No parent should ever have to face the pain of losing a child, and no child should lose their life in such a tragic way," said her father, Ruslan Mukhtarov."
