Duo who obstructed a train track...

I had a laugh when I read this one. Not sure if you've all heard about it but two junior high school boys got into trouble with the law after placing umbrellas and boxes onto a railway track in Aichi prefecture. An oncoming train was forced to perform an emergency stop as a result.

Their statement to the police made me LOL
電車が止まるのを見たかった (We wanted to see train stop)


If you wanna see a train stop, GO TO THE STATION! TAWAKE MONODOMO!

【愛知】線路に傘やカゴを置いて電車を止めた中２男子２人を補導 「電車が止まるのを見たかった」

That's disturbing.. a couple of 8th graders could have caused a major train accident.
I guess JR needs to give these kids train circus shows (train brakes, train jumps! train flips!) every now and then.
