Error'd: Kaids Hen 2025

On the recurring transportbeat, this week brings us a handful of wtfs relating tomass transit. Nothing private.

"Thank you for traveling with Deutsche Bahn" sneers Philipp H. bitterly, explaining "The German railroad company sadly is famous for often beinglate and also has lots of other issues. While bookingmy next trip I'm asked to pick my seats forthe reservation. - Looks like they now stack seats oneach other or on the table. - hopefully the seatsfacing the wall at least have a window there. -winning the jackpot lottery also seems more likely than understandingtheir seat numbering system."

"Whoops!" wrote Adrien K. metallically. "Other monitors on that train were fine. It's just thisone which refused to display unicode characters correctly."

"Trains slashdotted"Peter G."Looks like the train has been slashdotted..."

Ernesto reports a simple typo, included herebecause it relates to a story I have long found both sobering and inspiring. He relates: "Translated from Italian, this reads "We got to come back a fewyears. Exactly back to July 19th, 2989 ..." Italian source. The news was about a plane crash with somedeaths, not the best argument for joking. But the author'sfinger slipped a little bit and we're going back tothe future. The bright side, the article tells how 185passengers out of 296 survived thanks to the pilots."
Despite the tragic loss of life, it isan astounding story of skill and teamwork. If you're unfamiliar, the English Wikipedia is here.

On a more light-hearted note, Michael R. sent in a photo of aheavily-modified double-decker Delorean, which proposesto deliver passengers before they board. That must have been someparty to inspire repeat visits!
