One commenter said that they hoped that the fish were able to make it safely back to the water body they came from. A commenter punnily responded by saying that the chances of that happening are “swim to none.”

One commenter cracked a rather dark joke which said that one train can make multiple sashimis. Yet another commenter said they’re the electric supply (electric eel) for the trains. One commenter said that what they found more surprising than the fish was how clear the water was.
