Jongen (17) omgekomen bij metro-ongeval
18 oktober 2009

Bij het metrostation Slotlaan in Capelle aan den IJssel is zondagochtend vroeg een 17-jarige jongen uit Capelle om het leven gekomen toen hij werd overreden door een metro. Een 18-jarige plaatsgenoot raakte zwaargewond en is naar het Erasmus Medisch Centrum gebracht.

Het metro-treinstel reed rond kwart voor vijf langzaam langs het station. Het was daar niet gestopt, omdat het een testrit maakte om de wissels en seinen te controleren. Enkele tientallen meters buiten het station raakte de trein de twee jongens. Volgens de politie waren ze daar vermoedelijk graffiti aan het spuiten. Op het spoor zijn spuitbussen gevonden.

Op het metrotraject tussen Capelsebrug en Capelle aan den IJssel is in de vroege uren niet gereden en zette de RET bussen in. Tegen negen uur kwam de metrodienst weer op gang.

Retards.
Sounds like it was their own fault. :/
It's sad for their parents and other relatives. On the other hand it's not too bright to get on a metro track and spray graffiti. 17/18 year olds shouldn't be out vandalising at 4:30 in the morning anyway.

I love these ideas of what you should be doing at certain times ;D
when everyone is sleeping these guys make a piece of art wich you will see the next day. anyway, at night the chances that you get caught are not as big as daytime.

If they really want to express themselves this way, they should get involved in a program and do it legally.
Parent
illegal>legal
illegal gives more of a thrill and time pressure.
On a legal wall you can take all the time in the world.
Parent
indeed.

Parent
If you actually want to do a good piece you pretty much have to do it at late in the night.
Parent
