Surf’s Up—One Word of Warning: Watch Out for (Clang!) Low Beams


Darwin award winner Zackery Nazario only made it to 15, but at least he came to know romantic love


[“Who’s dumber? The officials who announced that subway surfing is ‘illegal’ and ‘dangerous,’ as if that would discourage kids from doing it, or the hispanic and black kids that do it, e.g., the city’s newest Darwin award winner?”]

“a 15-year-old boy was tragically killed while subway surfing atop a brooklyn-bound j train while his girlfriend watched in horror, police said tuesday.

“the train was rumbling along the williamsburg Bridge over the east river around 6:45 p.m. monday when Zackery Nazario and his girlfriend went walking between train cars. When Zackery climbed onto the train’s roof, his 17-year-old girlfriend followed but only far enough to peer over the top, a police source said.

“when Zackery turned to look back at his girlfriend, he was struck by a low beam and toppled between cars, cops said. He was run over by the train and died at the scene.

Zackery would have turned 16 on april 3. He lived with his mother, Norma Nazario, in an apartment in the east village.

Nazario, 51, said she had no clue her son would do something so reckless.

“‘he was a great kid,’ she said. ‘very smart(?). he was in ninth grade. he had like an old soul, like he was beyond his age. I always used to tell people he’s like 15 going on like 40 (GRA: More like 15 going on 100).”

  1. Yoko Ono leaves NYC after 50 years, moves to farm purchased with John Lennon

    (nypost)Yoko Ono is the latest to say she’s done with New York City.

    The 90-year-old is choosing to spend the rest of her life in a rural upstate New York farm that she and her late husband, John Lennon, purchased together in 1978, according to the Daily Mail.

    In the last 50 years, Ono has called the exclusive Dakota building — located on West 72nd Street and known as the first-ever luxury apartment building in America — her home. Lennon was shot outside, in Dakota’s archway, on Dec. 8, 1980.

    (GRA:Amazing she stayed at the scene of her husband's murder for 40 years)

    During the pandemic, Ono opted to move to her expansive 600-acre farm near Franklin, New York, in the Catskills, full-time — with no plans of returning to her Upper West Side abode, the outlet reported.

    (NYC is no place for Asians or Whites with a dislike of being attacked physically by minorities.)
