[From article]
The YouTube clips shows the vandals, who belong to a group they call the “subway conquestors,” repeatedly opening a B train car door– which transit sources say requires two different transit keys.
It appears the B train is laid up underground, possibly because of winter weather, sources added.
One of the keys the group has obtained can open a subway car door when it’s stopped inside a tunnel, and another can open a door into a train cab,
“The tools they have give them a lot of power,” said a transit source. “They seem to have enough knowledge to pull off something very dangerous. These kids have the tools and knowledge to open the doors of the train between stations, put trains into emergency braking, and even hijack a train with passengers on it.”
Transit workers suspect Keyshawn Brown, who was busted Tuesday for a small subway explosion in Brooklyn, may have stolen the keys, but this has not been substantiated. His mother is an MTA subway conductor.

These are NOT railfans. They are vandals. Railfans are not vandals, and do not damage the subway system. **NOTE: Nobody on this channel network was involved. This is a compilation of more videos and images sent to me of the "Conquestors" vandal group that steals rollsigns, damages transit property, and trespasses. I am not associated with these people. This has been posted to raise awareness of the issue. Note that these people have the tools required to operate train motors, brakes, and doors.
