Whale sculpture saves the life

In a tragedy that occurred at midnight on November 1, 2020, near Rotterdam in the Netherlands, a whale’s tail’s sculpture saved the entire metro train from crashing. As the metro crashed through the elevated metro tracks, it was abruptly halted by the whale’s structure. The metro was empty and did not carry any commuters. The metro man also managed to free himself and escape unhurt. 

According to a report by Penn Live, the authorities are investigating how the metro crashed through the stop barriers which were kept in place. A team of engineers has also reached the site of the accident. They are strategising how to constructively and successfully remove the train from the whale’s tail.

Netizens are surprised by the heroic save of the structure. One Twitter user has even said that the whale's sculpture looks it was only made for this purpose. Another user has said that where did Spider-man go after putting the metro on the whale's tail. On of the Twitter uses has also said that the sculpture is called Save By The Whale's Tail. See their reactions here:

According to a report by CNN Travels, Carly Gater, the local security authority spokesperson, has said that it is tricky and a team of experts is investigating how to safely get it down. She also has said that it is good since it is stable currently. But when the winds will start to blow, it will become a risk. 

The report also mentions that the whale sculpture was built by an architect called Maarten Strujis in order to beautify the park on which the metro tracks were built. This is one of two whale structures he had built. The architect was glad as his creation was able to save the life of the metro man. 

He has said that he is surprised that the sculpture is so strong. The structure has been made from plastic and is standing for 20 years. One does not expect it to stay this strong and withhold the weight of a metro train.
