Two teen pranksters in New York City pretends to spill a COVID-19 liquid inside the subway train amidst the issue about virus outbreak.
In our previous article, a Canadian Instagrammer and social media influencer named James Potok forced an emergency landing of flight bound to Jamaica after jokingly announcing that he might have been infected with the deadly virus from Wuhan.
Potok was arrested immediately after his prank attempt. He said he was trying to get a viral video and has apologized for interrupting passengers’ journeys.
Recently, two teen pranksters in New York City dressed in full-body hazmat suits pretended to spill a vat of COVID-19 on a packed Big Apple subway — leaving passengers screaming as they fled in terror.
According to the report of Insider, the two identified as Queen’s pranksters David Flores, 17, and Morris Cordewell, 19, initially sat calmly in their protective get-ups while holding a clear container with red liquid.
“That better be Kool-Aid,” one passenger on the L train said to the two men in the hazmat suits, who ensured passengers there is no reason to panic. “Oh, h— no,” a woman can have said when the men opened the clear container, labeled “WARNING” and filled with a red liquid before they spilled it on the train’s floor.
Others could be heard screaming as most commuters ran away from the spill, some jumping on seats to avoid the spreading liquid. Later on, the teens reassured screaming passengers who feared that it was a virus, they said that it was only a prank.
A spokesperson for the New York City MTA told Insider that the agency, wasn’t aware of the video until Insider asked about it. The MTA slammed the stunt, however, with chairman Pat Foye telling The Post that the deadly virus “is not a joking matter.”
The teens later on apologized and said that it was just a misunderstood as they were surprised that people give negative feedback to their prank. They also added that they don’t know that people will take it in the wrong way.
