You can't really steal a train. At most you borrow it for awhile.

This has got to be the saddest story I've ever heard.

This guy should be the gold star for the MTA not the most wanted

Mad lad never flipped! Imagine if he received real treatment

it´s nice that you got a sponsor. you deserve the extra money. and a very informative video. I would hire him as a train conductor if I had the opportunity.

I wrote 2 letters to him last April. He loved them both so much that not only did he write back both times but along with the letters he wrote back to me he sent big envelopes full of train memorabilia. I'm not kidding either. I also got on DVD that documentary about him, Off the Rails: The Darius McCollum Story

love your videos man! you deserve a heap more recognition, the quality and topics are top tier.

That is incredibely funny and sad at the same time.

Going through a similar situation as Darius is right now in Sydney, Australia. This *REALLY* hits me deep! Thanks for spreading the word about this, and hopefully end this catastrophe!

How is toast arm reveal?! Its like christmas

A really interesting guy, shame his story has a sad ending

The tiny toast figurine in the hello fresh clip is soo cute as well

Why in the everliving phuk, did they not just hire this boy/man? I'm so confused..

Cutest guy ever

This is amazing content for someone with 15k subs. I’ll see you guys when one vid gets into the algorithm and he gets 5mil subs. Actual amazing content.

This is now my favourite RU-vid channel

I just got done binging all of your videos. I saw a clip of your Roman big Mac video on TikTok. This is good content keep it up.

Oh, so glad you made this! One of my favorite stories. edit: I wrote that comment before I had heard the whole story. I didn't know he was autistic but I felt it because my son is the same. He knows basically every train from every country in the world. I hadn't heard the whole story especially the part about prison! Holy smokes. This sadly says a lot, an awful lot, about the United States. So glad I moved to Europe.

This is actually sad as fuck , he has a PASSION for it while other conductors just do it because its a job , he would be 100% better than ever body else because of passion but if the poor bloke just waited and did the training he could of lived his dream.

you're changing things up with a sad story, I see. :( clearly the guy was failed by the system. if he had started right, he probably would have spent his whole life driving trains happily and safely. being born black in brooklyn in 1965, it's probably safe to assume that stealing seemed to him like a normal way to do things, and since he stopped attending school, he probably saw it as impossible for him to have a proper career as a train driver. I think it was probably apparent to a lot of people that he was obsessed with becoming a train driver well before he got caught on a stolen train. if only somebody would have helped him toget through school well enough and get accepted into the normal training and hiring process for train drivers...this man should have had a happy life as a productive member of society! 😣

He reminds me of the nuclear boy scout. A smart and well intentiones individual, that could have a major boon had he just been given a chance or allowed to be rehabilitated at any point.

How do you not have a million subscribers, such high quality work and very engaging! Keep it up and I’m sure your time will come 🙌

Free Darius!

This is literally just sad. Poor guy spend a third of his life in jail because he was a good bus/train driver who didn't even ask for money to do his job.

Damn toast, amazing as always and using your power for a good cause as well! And with a sponsor too! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next

I stole a candybar when I was 15

This man is a modern day hero, under appreciated just like Toast. And Toast is kind of like Darius, sincerely doing his thing, taking us for a safe ride through RU-vid's algorithm. XD

Amazing and informative video like always! You deserve more views, your videos are addicting!

Jail? They should have given that guy employee of the damn month!

Wait, are you telling me your not a toast?! Great video as always, glad you have a sponsor :)

Man I love your videos the look and sound nice, the topics are always interesting and the animation matches the good qualitiy 👍

Great narration (as usual)! I want a mini Toast too! Please post link to your store. Shame on the MTA, and the justice system, for being so blind, and obtuse. All the qualities they demand in their drivers, he has in spades, and they count for nothing in their (stupid blind) eyes. It says a lot about the USA too.

why he stole 100 trains isn’t my first question

Toast you are amazing

Really nice video, toast! Really like the sprinkle of seriousness you added this time. Additionaly, love that toast miniature you got there 😍

What an absolute madlad.

Who's our train conductor today? Darius. Darius who? Darius... good friend :)

What the heck, i would hire him right there after he piloted the train IN TIME😂

I'm not crying 😭😭😭 you're crying 😭😭😭

Freee Train Darius, he did nothing wrong!

Amazing content as always, toast! You absolutely deserve a sponsor

God, America is so insane

Free my boy

This ist so beutifful

A new Toast Video, letsgooo!

Great Video

Very interesting video. Keep up the work!

Poor dude =(

Most I ever did was suplex one.

Excellent video. Awful situation.

They should have just hired him

Amazing!

just let darius drive the trains jfc

I came here before I was given Darius's story in China language. I was shocked he can manuver subway at 15yo. I was shocked he was not given a job at MTA. He is too obvious a staff wannabe. A brilliant kid that was well inspired by, but never been accepted by the concrete jungle. This Newyork look nothing like Zootopia. Before this story I believe there is no systematic prejudice against certain group people. But when I see all the main English media is using the verb "stole" "rob""theif" to discribe a boy, who made all the stop correctly for the subway, I believe there is systematic prejudice, from the court to the media. Imagine the same story happen in 1950 Britain with a euro face, they will depict the story as a staff ignorance and the teenager save the day. And I still don't understand why Newyork MTA can not bear to have one more staff named Darius. I can not understand.

Geiles Video wie immer, nice einen Deutschen Creator so guten content machen zu sehen

I've stolen 2 gallons of milk for my family!! Is my government government going to convict me and let me lose the next day

He could start his own stealth gig where he takes over trains as a contractor basis there are no loop holes preventing this but yeah he didn't get some exclusive deal or therapy cuz he's black otherwise he had a chance to get those things mentioned and a book deal and a consulting firm. Very stupid they decided to arrest him and use tax payer dollars when what he's doing is aiding those companies by allowing those people to take paid vacations and rest periods so they could perform better at their job the next day he literally could be hired by the entire city's transportation division to cut half a days pay off of each worker he fills in for or be given a city commission he reports his lines the people don't get fired they retain full pay and he has both a livelihood fulfilling a community service with pristine record.

based

He was never a bad guy. It has always been NYC: the school system and then the assholes at the MTA.
