As a near-empty train went careening off an elevated section of tracks, impending doom seemed more than likely.
Yet the train was caught by an unlikely savior: a whale’s tail. Now this might seem like a whale of a tale, but truth can be stranger than fiction. The train was indeed nestling atop “the tail’s two fins.”
The question remains: What was a whale doing so far from shore? The answer: Not much, since this was not an actual cetacean, but a sculpture of one. Nevertheless, such reciprocity will hopefully bode well for the future of whales. Perhaps humans will think to spare their lives in return.
