Some time in the 2010s, Dignan was riding a subway train in New York when the driver drank a large amount of liquor and passed out. Dignan then climbed into the cockpit, drank the rest of the liquor, and took control of the train. He then steered the train into the wall, rode it throught the earth like a worm, and drove it out of a cliff, flipping it, and landing it on the Hudson River, henceforth "inverting the worm". The water from the river awoke the driver, whom Dignan carried to safety. He was thanked by Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City at the time, but Dignan replied to him by saying "no thanks, but thanks".
