Munich: weather chaos in rush hour - tram comes off the tracks
The tram was a workshop trip.
Units of the fire brigade were alerted to support the Munich transport company.
With muscle power, the winch of a rescue vehicle and other technical equipment, the tram was pulled back onto the track after two hours.
