Near Rotterdam, the Netherlands, a railway tragedy and averted thanks to an unusual statue in the shape of a whale's tail. It happened last night, according to Dutch media, during the last metro ride with only the driver on board. The convoy he drove derailed as it crossed a bridge, breaking through the protective barrier and landing on the tail of a plastic whale, an installation that emerges from the water below up to the height of the bridge. The driver, unharmed, managed to get out on his own from the carriage stuck ten meters above the water, and has not yet been able to explain the dynamics of what happened.
The statue of the double whale diving into the water is 20 years old, and the title of the work is 'Saved by the whale's tail'. (HANDLE).
