Another Adult Male Surfer is Killed!

Subway surfer dies after falling off train onto tracks in Bronx 

A subway surfer died after falling off a train in the Bronx Sunday morning, police said.

The victim, described only as a man in his 30s, fell from the top of a southbound D train at the Tremont Ave. station in Mount Hope just after 4 a.m., cops said.

He fell onto the tracks and was struck by the train, according to officials.  He died at the scene.

Any NYPD official with experience with the subway system knows that "surfing" is practiced by young teenagers acting in groups.  They do not surf late at night. Here's a case where one of those foolish teenagers was killed in mid-afternoon while his pals videoed the stunt.

To my knowledge no adult male has ever been observed by witnesses "surfing" on the roof or the side of a speeding train.

But in my opinion, the current management of the Transit Bureau of the NYPD has hit upon this variant of their old standbys. They have claimed for years that unwitnessed track deaths happen because he or she had been "moving between cars" or "walking on the tracks."

But "late night surfing" looks like the new favorite. 

Back in May the NYPD/MTA accused a 24-year old electrician of having been surfing all by himself at 2:30 am. Here's the link.

In October a sole surfer was killed at 4:45 am.  Link.

Here's what I think actually happened to those three men: they were attacked by thugs and throw off the moving train. But the Transit Bureau's "No Case Squad" ensured that the killers lived to kill again.

Who was the mastermind behind the new "he was surfing" line that certainly pleases the MTA lawyers?  Was it Joseph Fox, Chief of Transit in the world-famous NYPD?
