Drama in New York. Two French artists, taggers, died caught by the metro this Wednesday, April 20. The two urban artists from Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), aged 28 and 34, were known in the community.
It was not yet 7 a.m. in a Brooklyn neighborhood when the driver of a subway train saw two bodies on the tracks, one next to the other. Help will arrive quickly, but the two men were already dead.
Line 3 being blocked, the local media report the accident without yet knowing the cause. The police recovered two French passports. They are Pierre Audebert, 28, and Julien Blanc, 34. He was the father of two children. The two graffiti artists were renowned in the world of street-art.
It is quite easy to access the tunnel where the two men were found, it leads to an aerial portion of the metro. At this place, you can see a lot of graffiti. Carrying out one in the metro of the megalopolis of New York would be considered an accomplishment or a feat, but it remains a very dangerous practice. The exact circumstances of the accident that led to the death of the two Toulouse residents have not yet been clearly established. Investigations are ongoing.
