Snake Stops Bullet Train in Japan

A surprising incident occurred in Japan when a snake caused a major disruption to one of the country's busiest bullet train lines. The snake became entangled in a power line, resulting in a power outage that halted the Tokaido Shinkansen trains running between Tokyo and Osaka.

The trains were suspended for approximately 1.5 hours, from 17:25 to 19:00 local time on Wednesday. This interruption happened during Golden Week, one of Japan's busiest holiday seasons, causing inconvenience to many travelers.

Passengers expressed their frustration with the unexpected delay. One frequent traveler, Satoshi Tagawa, mentioned that it was his first time experiencing such a suspension due to a power outage. Another passenger, Kazutoshi Tachi, voiced his disappointment, stating he was "fed up with the troubles" and wanted the trains to run on time.
