Yeh, I read about it too. Luckily nobody lost their lives.
Wrong. Several sheep did not leave the scene. Animal protection lobbyists now demand that sheep shall not get hit by express trains with speeds in excess of a safety speed set below the 200 km/h by which this ICE was racing through the tunnel. we really should treat our sheep better than that.
Oh yeh. Sorry. Poor sheeps.
