(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, NOV 2 - Near Rotterdam, Holland, a railway tragedy avoided thanks to an unusual statue in the shape of a whale's tail. It happened last night, according to the Dutch media, during the last ride of the metro with only the driver on board. The convoy he was driving derailed as he crossed a bridge, breaking through the protective barrier and landing on the tail of a diplomatic whale, an installation that emerges from the water below up to the height of the bridge. The driver, unharmed, managed to get out alone from the carriage stuck ten meters above the water, and still has not been able to explain the dynamics of the incident.


    The statue of the double whale diving into the water is 20 years old, and the title of the work is 'Saved from the tail of the whale'. (HANDLE).
