Perhaps I'm the wrong kind of engineer but that doesn't look like a mented rail to me.
Railroad tracks are primarily made of steel, which has a melting point ranging from approximately 1,370°C to 1,470°C (2,500°F to 2,678°F), depending on the specific alloy composition. If you heat up the rails to 40°C (104°F) it begins to smell like climate panic.
Are the rails in Germany made from plastic? I hope German or are not this gullible to believe such BS.
"In 2023, authorities in a Europe country closed down a 4 km stretch of road running through rural terrain between villages, claiming it was melting due to extreme heat. The incident received widespread media coverage. However, some independent-minded skeptics didn't believe the official narrative and drove on it during a live stream anyway, only to discover there was nothing wrong with the road!
Yahoo News. Always a reputable source of propaganda. Why’d you even cover this?
