So, you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show, you daily dive into the news.

There's a bunch we got to talk about today, so I'm just going to hit you with that monkey and jump into it.

This is a news show.

Subway surfing is killing kids. Also, no, I don't mean the mobile game that you've played or you've seen on TikTok videos because no one has an attention span anymore. Instead, I'm talking about real-life

teenagers riding on top of real-life trains going full speed. I mean, even just this week,

a 12-year-old and a 13-year-old saw this subway surfing trend online. They decide, hey, let's do it

ourselves. And then they were literally riding on top of a moving train in Queens,

jumping between cars and running along the top of it. But then, when the train came to a stop,

the girls lost their balance and they fell between the cars. As far as the younger one, they suffered

a head injury and they're in critical condition with a fractured skull and a brain bleed. And that

teenager, they fell underneath the train and died. Now here's the thing. People have been surfing trains in New York

since at least the 80s. But now in the age of the internet and social media, kids have taken it

as a way to try to get views online and it's becoming an incredibly dangerous trend in recent years.

With countless videos popping up online, showing people on top of trains or even buses going full

speed. And this latest tragedy, it brings the subway surfing death toll up to six just this year.

With the fact, just last week, one of those six being a 13-year-old boy from Brooklyn.

And then earlier this year, there was a 15-year-old boy who hit his head on a beam and fell between the cars and died.

And so with this, you have a number of people, parents, and organizations, including New York City officials, trying to make this stop. Right last year, the MTA launched a public information campaign in an effort to deter teenagers from hopping on top of moving trains.

And the NYPD, they've stepped up their efforts as well, announcing their plan to use drones

to catch surfers earlier this month.

And this is social media platforms have reportedly started pulling down popular subway surfing

videos.
