Title: Bizzare accident to Dutch metro train.
Post by: broadgage on November 02, 2020, 13:20:42
Ran through stop blocks at end of the line, and rather than falling a considerable distance to the ground or water below, the front vehicle was left suspended on a whale sculpture !

Driver taken to hospital for checks but reported to be unhurt.
No passengers on board.

Ah but the accident may not have occurred had the whale been properly displaying a red tail lamp!

Possibly the most ironic named statue ever
