According to foreign media reports, on November 2, local time, when a train in the Netherlands was driving on a high-altitude track, it suddenly rushed out of the end of the track and almost fell. Fortunately, it was "caught" by a whale sculpture and hung in the air without causing casualties.
The name of this sculpture happens to be "Saved by the Whale's Tail" (Saved by the Whale's Tail).
According to reports, the train accident occurred at a suburban station in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The train driver said that when the train rushed out of the track, the tail of a whale sculpture just below jammed the train car and prevented the car from falling from the sky, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
According to the report, the whale sculpture that "rescued" the derailed train was designed by architect Maarten Struijs and was built in 2002.
After the train derailment accident, the designer of the sculpture, Streis, said that the scene of the train car suspended in the air and balanced on the tail of the whale sculpture is like a spectacle of art.
However, he worried that the structure of the whale sculpture might be affected by the violent collision of the train.
The spokesperson of the local safety agency Rud Natrop said that after preliminary investigations by the safety department and the police, no operating errors have been found by the train driver.
The relevant departments are conducting further investigations.
Natrop said that the local railway department is currently discussing how to safely remove suspended trains.
