A man in Germany has miraculously survived after being found clinging to the side of a high-speed train, sending shockwaves around the country. The man clung to the side of the train that was traveling from Munich to Berlin at an estimated speed of 150 mph (240 km/h). Passengers were unaware of the dangerous stowaway, whose acts posed a lot of risks to his safety and that of others. The authorities were informed upon arrival to its destination, and he was taken into safe custody.
Amazingly, the identity of the individual has not been released yet; however, the man was without a valid train ticket and has been investigated for financial impropriety. His investigation centers around why he took such a perilous way of traveling to avoid fare. Surviving high-speed train travel is nothing less than miraculous with all the extreme risks involved.
Experts in railway safety have expressed shock over the incident, as high-speed trains are equipped with strict safety features and mechanisms designed to prevent such occurrences. The man’s decision to hang onto the train at such speeds raises serious questions about the safety measures in place and the potential for copycat incidents. The authorities are also considering revising security protocols to prevent future occurrences.
Survival was the miraculous act as far as it seemed. In response to that, authorities assert that this act is dangerous in its nature and can never be undertaken by any one of them.
The potential of this action against the rules installed to keep safe passengers and protect trains serves a warning.
