Article doesn’t even mention why they went into the sewer. Just curious for the reason.

Want the subway? Nah too crowded. Let’s pop down in the sewer to get home

I highly recommend everyone listen to the 911 call linked to this article. It's the most Staten Island no-nonsense conversation I've ever heard. These kids are unphased and the operator is annoyed bordering on amused.

When I was that age, my days mostly consisted of getting friends together, looking for places that are hard to get to, and going there. We pretty much took over all the abandoned train tracks in Queens.

Funny thing this article fails to mention, is that staten island in of itself is the sewer drain for NY!

Looks like a bunch of cops are downvoting you for this response, but you’re not wrong. Staten Island is literally where the rest of New York sends our garbage. SI residents can be as salty about it as they like, but it won’t be any less true.

My friends and I would climb down to the train tracks and put coins on it for the train to press. Did it a few times in jr high & HS. Mentioned it to my mom in my mid-forties and she turned pale and yelled at me. I thought I would be safe, like a statute of limitations - was kind of glad to go home after that. Never going to tell her the other stupid stuff I did as a kid.

hhaha we did this shit when i was young but in Piermont on those tunnels leading up to the side of the mountain by 9w.

Holy shit there was a snake at the end of one of the ladders leading out to the other side of 9w. Saw it and we all noped out and had to climb back down. There were certain parts that there were hissing sounds too and it was dark as shit. Real scary stuff. Stay out of tunnels gents.

Rookie mistake you gotta ease her in with the small stuff. I recently told my mother about how many times I actually skipped my chemistry class (I pretty much went once a week if that by the second semester) even though she only thought it was the few times I got detention. I was only getting the detention for showing up late to class so I just decided to not go at all. I stopped getting detention and my mom stopped getting calls home. She did not like the full story but 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️now she knows.
