Whale Tale

Rotterdam is a city I know well, so it is always interesting to hear stories from it. One of the strangest, is the report that a fibre glass sculpture of two whale tails managed to stop a Metro train from crashing 10 metres into the water (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/02/all-cetaceans-go-whale-sculpture-stops-dutch-train-crashing-into-water). The empty train overshot the buffers and became lodged on the sculpture, allowing the driver to safely escape.
