    November 2, 2020: Flying Trains? A Tall Tail!

    A derailed metro train near Rotterdam, Netherlands was saved by landing on a whale tail art installation at the end of the track in De Akkers station.  The plastic sculpture is by Maarten Struijs and was erected in 2002.  The drop to the water is 10m (32ft for all you fuddy-duddies)



    The story is from the BBC:  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54780430 and the pictures are from GETTY IMAGES

    Definitely a fluke incident.
