On December 1990 after he left Gallaudet University for Christmas vacation, he did not know that he was in a wrong car of Amtrak. The car was for the passengers who came to South Carolina so he was alone in a vacant car until he arrived at his scheduled stop, Gainesville, Georgia.

He managed to drive his car without any accidents from Calhoun, Georgia until he failed to see the view of the road (Constitution Avenue). He thought that road was led to Gallaudet University. When he realized that was wrong way, it was too late. He crashed yellow barricade fences and almost touched the stairs of U.S. Capitol.

In Spring 1993, Chris and his cycling class were on a field trip by riding bikes to around
Kennedy Center and back to Gallaudet for a lesson. Chris was not very skilled cyclist so he was very clumsy. He failed to turn around few bushes and crashed into one of bushes.
