'Subway Surfers narrowly avoid being killed by oncoming train after walking along tracks.

This article is from the sun.
It talks about three guys that decided to run across train tracks and into a tunnel. They recorded themselves while doing so and then posted it online with the caption "subway surfers in real life". This shows they were influenced by the game in which you have tap the screen at the right time to make sure the charcter doesnt get hit by the trains.
The video shows them running out as a train is coming through. They risked their lives just for views online? But what did they really get out of that. I think their plan of a viral video backfired as people were calling them names and informed of them of their stupid decision.
I think this goes to show how hungry some people are just for attention. However we don't maybe they just did it because they were bored but that wasnt really a fun idea.
I picked this article because it shows just how much the media impacts people.
