Subway Surfer Killed in Washington Heights (155th Street)

Posted on October 16th, 2007 by The SUBWAYblogger in Crime, Deaths, This just in

Rumor has it that a 21 year old was “thrown from a train” up in Washington Heights, and killed.  Details are very hard to come by because police are not being very forthcoming at this time.  Also, details are hard to get late at night when the majority of the press are home in bed.

The kid was on (literally) a downtown C train.  Witnesses say that he may have been train surfing.

What the hell is train surfing?  It’s riding on the top of the subway cars like an old western movie.  Possibly one of the dumbest ideas ever.

The “victim” was on top of the train, according to witness reports, when the train went under an overpass.  You can fill in the blanks from there.  I will insert the sound effect:  SPLAT!

I know, I know.  I’m going to get chewed apart in the comments for being insensitive.  I don’t care.  Folks, this is Darwinism at its best.  As a species, our future is a little better of than it was yesterday.

If it turns out that the kid accidentally fell off an overpass, onto the top of the train, and then surfed it downtown, I will retract my statement.

All the details are/were unconfirmed at the time this was posted.  However, my secret sources say this is pretty much a closed case.

    Your secret sources on the subchat.com message boards?

    Yeah, I don’t feel too bad for these idiots. If they are going to train surf, they’ll get what’s coming to them. Or in this case, what’s rushing at them at high speeds.

    Also, there should be a smiley face after my first question. I saw those discussions earlier this evening. That’s two Darwin train deaths in one day with the other being the guy who was killed when attempting to demonstrate what happens to a penny when a train runs over it. Oops.

    This is why I do all my subwaysurfing inside!

    But enough of the shameless plug!!! I STILL amazes me that morons like this STILL exist! You gotta be high on dope and dogfood to even think that you have a chance of successfully surfing a subwaytrain expecially in light of the OVERWHELMING evidence to the contrary! You gotta wonder if this guy had a death wish. If that was the case, he definitely got his wish.

    Thanks for the points you have provided here. One more thing I would like to say is that laptop or computer memory specifications generally increase along with other advances in the technology. For instance, if new generations of processor chips are brought to the market, there’s usually a matching increase in the dimensions preferences of all laptop or computer memory as well as hard drive space. This is because the software program operated by these cpus will inevitably rise in power to benefit from the new technological know-how.

    One thing is one of the most popular incentives for making use of your card is a cash-back or even rebate present. Generally, you’re going to get 1-5% back in various expenses. Depending on the credit card, you may get 1% back again on most acquisitions, and 5% back on acquisitions made from convenience stores, gasoline stations, grocery stores plus ‘member merchants’.

    Thanks for the strategies presented. One thing I also believe is always that credit cards supplying a 0% apr often attract consumers with zero interest rate, instant approval and easy over-the-internet balance transfers, nonetheless beware of the number one factor that is going to void your own 0% easy streets annual percentage rate and also throw one out into the terrible house rapidly.

    One other important area is that if you are an elderly person, travel insurance for pensioners is something you need to really look at. The mature you are, a lot more at risk you’re for allowing something undesirable happen to you while overseas. If you are never covered by several comprehensive insurance coverage, you could have many serious problems. Thanks for discussing your good tips on this blog.

    Thanks for your concepts. One thing I’ve noticed is the fact that banks in addition to financial institutions have in mind the spending patterns of consumers and as well understand that plenty of people max out there their real credit cards around the holiday seasons. They smartly take advantage of this particular fact and then start flooding ones inbox as well as snail-mail box using hundreds of 0 APR credit card offers soon after the holiday season concludes. Knowing that in case you are like 98% of American open public, you’ll rush at the chance to consolidate consumer credit card debt and switch balances for 0 annual percentage rates credit cards.
