Train Saved By Whale Sculpture


A train in the netherlands failed to stop in time and broke through the emergency barrier. It's being held up by the statue of a Whale's tail.

Rather than fall more than 30 feet to the ground, the train was brought to a stop by one of two whale tail sculptures at the end of the track.

The driver of the train was able to escape. He visited a hospital as a precautionary measure, according to local media reports.

Dutch emergency services have told reporters there were no other passengers aboard.
