Rapper 'highjacks' cockpit of Roman metro train

ROME – A Roman rapper has entered the cockpit of a “metro B” train in Rome and streamed it live from his Instagram page, official sources said on Wednesday. 

 The rapper known as Gast, right-hand man of notorious rapper Noyz Narcos, streamed his hijack via his phone to over 20 thousand followers, highlighting the loose security measures of Roman public transport.

 Gust is seen miming the theft of a concealed gun of a security official patrolling the platform. He then bursts into an open and unattended cockpit opposite to the train’s direction of travel.

 “Have you seen this? Every so often they leave it open” said Gust referring to the unlocked cockpit door.

 “If you get seen by security, it is unclear to them if you are a romantic poet or maybe there to put bombs” said the rapper. The rapper is seen leaving the cockpit and entering the passenger wagon surrounded by shocked passengers.

 Access to the cockpit and train controls normally requires two sets of keys. “As you can see, it’s so easy” said the rapper in his final address to his followers.
