Youtuber arrested for Deliberately Derailing Trains for Content

A teenager was charged this week with two felonies for allegedly derailing trains in Nebraska to film “insane” footage for YouTube.

The 17-year-old, who has not been identified because of his age, posted a 5-minute video of the April 21 derailment in Bennet, calling it the “MOST INSANE VIDEO I’VE EVER TAKEN!”
