At least one person here has to blame this foo-pah on climate change, instead of bad engineering.....who will it be?

ICE water
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
This summer there was catastrophic flooding in several tributaries of the Rhine River, with many deaths. Your notion of humor?
You know, that ICE train made such a stately and unstoppable approach through the water these guys should have been standing by to render honors!

How about this?
You know, something "U-Boot" did cross my mind, but since the ICE was surface-running it didn't seem appropriate.

You should recall that in WWII, U-Boots mostly ran on the surface until late.

Oh certainly. In fact, that was the genius of the design of the original U-Boots of WW1. The Germans figured out early that a submarine was going to spend most of it's time on the surface so they designed them as surface craft capable of submerging rather than underwater craft that HAD to surface. It made their sea-keeping and handling abilities so much better.
I'd ask everyone to join me in a rousing chorus of "Wir Fahren Gegen Engeland," a WW1 song by the way, but I better not push things!

CSSHEGEWISCHI wouldn't push it either. That was the first entry in the logbook of the U-505.
They were lucky. They didn't end up on the bottom like 30,000 other U-Boot men.

Anyone notice that there is almost NO motion between the cars of the train that I can see. Class 7 track?
The fastest I've ever travelled on land was on an ICE train between Nuremburg and Munich. At 300 kms per hour, we were passing cars on the nearby autobahn like they weren't even moving. There is a screen at the end of the coach telling the speed. Smooth as silk, it was.
