It is said that a ” little tail ” is one of the strongest drivers of human emotion…….well, there it is in action….

it’s actual name is “Saved by The Whale’s Tail” after all
Now that is a whale of a tale!🤣
Iron horse…meet bronze whale.

Y e s spells yes, e y e s spells eyes
Rotterdam metro should paint whales on their trains after this. Couldn’t hurt.
I would like that
I would be fun if they atleast painted this metro train
Jetzt ist es wirklich Kunst ;D
Das war Glück im Unglück.
That is a one in a million chance.
Best news 2020😀
It’s world news. Never expected this to happen with the metro.

Modern art.
Pretty sure that wasn’t the porpoise
The name is saved by the whale’s tale. So idk
Its now November, this may be the first positive story ive seen in 2020 , and it involves a train wreck!
The city official who insisted on this in spite of budjet.
“Toldjah we needed it”
We don’t really do budget constraints but the actual funny part is that the name of the statue is “Saved by The Whale’s Tail”
” art and functionality “
HaHa 🙂
Kudos to whomever made that whale tail statue. Should rename the route.
Update:
*Whale’s tail sculptures now will be MANDATORY at all stop blocks at the end of train tracks🤣👈*
He’s Blessed Beyond Measures. He should be Giving Thanks Right Now For Life itself!
“Perfectly balanced as all things should be”
One Helluva of a Whale Tail, the Train that Almost Got Away 😁🤦♂️😳
