A Dutch subway train driver was miraculously saved by a giant whale sculpture when the metro train overran the stop blocks at its station. People on social media are in awe of the unique and unusual nature of the incident.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a miraculous turn of events, a metro train driver in the Netherlands escaped a near-death experience thanks to a well-placed sculpture. According to reports, the train plowed through its barriers at the final station De Akkers in Spijkenisse, near the Dutch port city of Rotterdam.<\/p>\n

This train would have plummeted down from a great height of around 30 meters, had it not been for a massive whale sculpture just near below the station.<\/p>\n

As a result, the driver managed to free himself without any injury and the train was left balanced precariously 10 meters above the ground on the plastic fins of the whale sculpture. Fortunately, the train had no other passengers on board that day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The statue in question has become a topic of fascination for many people on social media who are pleasantly surprised by this unusual event. However, the best part about the incident is the statue\u2019s name, which is\u2026 \u201cSaved by a Whale\u2019s Tail.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maarten Struijs, the man behind the sculpture of two tails emerging from the water beneath the elevated metro line is also in awe of his creation. Struijs states that he is pleasantly surprised by his statue\u2019s durability to hold the metro train.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Efforts are being made to bring down the train carriage without damaging the statue. Also, people have been advised to stay away from the area.<\/p>\n
