"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."
"Social media must be socially responsible. Subway Surfing kills. We need everyone to be a part of ending this dangerous threat."
"Subway surfing involves riding on the outside of moving trains, whether that be holding on the side, or more typically, on top of these subway vehicles."
Two girls were found dead on top of a New York City subway train after police responded to a 911 call at about 3 a.m. at the Marcy Avenue station in Brooklyn on October 4. Both females were unconscious when officers arrived and were pronounced dead at the scene by healthcare professionals. Authorities have not released identities or ages, though New York City Transit President Demetrius Crichlow confirmed they were young girls. Officials warned against subway surfing, a social-media-fueled activity that involves riding on the outside of moving trains and risks electrocution, falls, and fatal injuries.
