Such talent should register somewhere and given certain guidelines to prevent such horrible accidents. I am sure there is a tourist bureau in New York City that can provide a structured idea of the trains that run in the subway and the dangers of being near them.
Basically, what to expect with schedules, the electric rail and requesting accommodation for such an event. It is an event. These are international travelers recognized globally for their talent. I have no doubt they would be welcome to paint in New York City. This is really terrible and it seems like a lack of understanding the subject they most wanted to paint.

Two men (click here) found fatally struck by a train in a subway tunnel in East New York Wednesday morning have been identified as two French graffiti artists.
Julien Blanc, 34, and Pierre Audebert, 28, shared two dreams, according to their boss, the artist Ceet Fouad.
The first was to visit New York City. Fouad, also a street artist, who’s known for his chicken character with bulging eyes, brought them to New York to film a short documentary. During the filming, they interviewed veterans of New York City’s graffiti heyday of the 1970s and 1980s.
Their second dream, Fouad said, was to paint a subway train. “It was like winning the World Cup, winning a trophy,” Fouad said.
Fouad said the last time he saw his friends was at dinner Tuesday night. He said they didn’t discuss going out to paint trains and he had no idea they were planning to do it....
