A daring incident unfolded in Germany when a Hungarian man survived clinging to the exterior of a high-speed Intercity Express (ICE) train, reaching speeds of up to 282 kilometers per hour (172 miles per hour). The 40-year-old Hungarian had taken a cigarette break on a Bavarian train platform when the train doors shut, leaving him locked outside while his luggage remained on board. In a desperate move, he latched onto the bracket connecting two carriages as the train resumed its journey from Munich to Luebeck. For the next 30 kilometers, he held onto the train’s exterior cables before authorities halted the train following reports from witnesses who spotted the dangerous act. The train was stopped safely in the Bavarian town of Kinding, where the man was arrested by federal police. The Hungarian man now faces legal action for financial misconduct, as he lacked a valid ticket, and for endangering public transport operations. This incident echoes a similar 2017 event when a 59-year-old man survived clinging to train cables for 25 kilometers on the Hannover-Bielefeld Express. Authorities have urged the public to report any instances of people seen riding outside trains and warned against such life-threatening stunts.
