They say you can learn ANYTHING on YouTube, even this: Two teens were arrested in South Carolina after stealing a train for a joyride.
It happened last Saturday. The minors broke into the railroad facilities in the evening, and started an engine that was connected to two others, and drove it around the yard, before taking it down the rail toward a neighboring town.
They reportedly went on YouTube to learn how to start the train. But they probably should’ve watched a video on STOPPING it, because on the way back from the joyride, the track switched and they ran into several cars on the same line, forcing one of them to derail, and causing “significant damage.”
The minors were charged with burglary, grand larceny, malicious damage, and willful destruction of railroad property and injury to railroad. Their names and ages haven’t been released.
(Here’s a local news report.)
