...the consequences in this case were fatal.
Matthew Zeno, 30, and another man were walking north on the southbound side of the subway, near Union Avenue, when Zeno paused to urinate and inadvertantly contacted the third rail, according to the FDNY and NYPD.
Yes we like to guffaw and laugh at silly stories sometimes but because of that we hope we have some cred here. If you should read this and in that moment when you and your friends have your camera-phones out and something that sounds like a really bad idea is about to be attempted, (like in Zeno's case getting down onto the tracks to begin with) stop. It's easy to just stop. Cellcams seem to have emboldened a whole new generation of daredevils. We get it. If someone else needs to do it badly enough, let them do it. Walking on subway tracks or train surfing don't look good on a resume. They look even worse in a funeral home.
