An elevated train that derailed in Rotterdam was saved from falling by a giant sculpture of a whale’s tail, which is good news both for the driver who didn’t get hurt (there were no passengers aboard at the time), and also for headline writers: https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/what-a-fluke-dutch-whale-tail-sculpture-catches-metro-train-1.5170640

I'm so glad to know about this.

I thought that was a whale's tail, but then thought I was just projecting that onto some machinery!

And the sculpture is titled "Saved by the Whale's Tail"!

On the slack chatroom where I first the news, we got a bunch of people remarking that it was a fluke and one slightly more creative person suggesting that the driver got a cetacean.
