Huge whale's tail sculpture saves Dutch metro train from plummeting into water below

This really was a fluke. The driver of a metro train escaped injury when the front carriage rammed through the end of an elevated section of rails and was caught by a sculpture of a whale's tail near the Dutch port city of Rotterdam. The train was left perched upon one of two tail fins known as "flukes" several meters (yards) above the ground. It created such a stir locally that authorities urged sightseers to stay away, adding that coronavirus restrictions were in force.
