What happened to that kid...(Darius McCollum!)

All TWU vs Darwinists arguments aside for a moment.

What happened to that kid that impersonated an MTA driver and drove the subway most of the way before getting caught, and only becasue he skipped a few stops? Then everytime he got out of JV and mental institutions he would do it again?


Where is he when the city needs him! He did'nt ask for a golden parachute either, he just wanted to drive the train.

oohhhhh..... i know what you are talking about, but i don't think it was a kid. he was like, 30. or maybe there are just more people ready to drive the trains & for FREE than one might expect, oh SNAP.

Same guy, but he did it in highschool the first time but was still doing it at 30.

vanilla

i LOVE him. 8)

How hard can it be to drive a train? It's not like you have to watch out for bicycle delivery guys riding the wrong way.

vanilla

this kid even scored his own MTA uniform, and what happened to the real driver of the train.... ?

vanilla

his name is: Darius McCollum

Oh my god thank you for finding that name!

I have been googleing for days to no avail.

From Wikipedia

"McCollum has been rejected for employment by NYCTA on numerous occasions, although he is reported to know more about the trains, schedules, procedures and rail operations than any current employee".

Darius! New York needs you!

In case I could do something for Darius, I would do it. It's not correct putting somebody in prison without finding better solutions. In case somebody knows his email address; telephone number or contacts with his family; friends; lawyer; etc. please send it to my email address [email protected]. I will do my best, although I don't live closeby: I live in Holland, Europe.

Thanks in advance.
