The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is investigating a video of a train explosion that was apparently triggered by a bunch of idiot teen pranksters who had placed metal along the train tracks last week in New York City.

The now-viral video shows a C-train pull into the Nostrand Avenue station when suddenly an explosion erupts before the train comes to a stop.

The subway motorman who shared the video via Facebook claims the teens who placed a rollsign box on the tracks are the same culprits behind a similar stunt in February, UPI reports.

"It is outrageous that these people endangered the lives of our employees and customers with this prank," said MTA officials in a statement cited by The Gothamist.


"This incident was not only extremely dangerous but it also affected service for more than an hour during the morning rush, disrupting the commutes of thousands and thousands of customers. We are working with NYPD to find these perpetrators."
