Explosions, laser attack, loud music, screaming and general hysteria mar opening of Berlin’s Hauptbahnhof

As if the ritual, ten-year-long moaning and groaning about the planning, cost, design, delay and even Sinn und Zweck (reason) of the capital’s new main train station had not been enough, it’s opening ceremony was ruined yesterday by what appears to have been an attack from outer space.

In what was supposed to have been the Berlin equivalent of a small-town ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring Chancellor Merkel and a handful of native dignitaries (she was on her way home anyway and also wanted to grab a quick Currywurst), the ceremony quickly turned into the Berlin equivalent of a small-town ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“Let’s get the hell out of here,” screamed one unnamed city official shortly after the alien laser attack began. “Those are Klingon ships!”

Eerie, unearthly flashes of light, deafening explosions and inexplicable telepathic forces stunned the hysterical audience, quickly turning them into the willing slaves of a yet unnamed and invisible EVIL and otherworldly superpower.

But the aliens seemed to have had a few logistical problems and ran out of ammunition after about ten minutes. The new Hauptbahnhof’s doors were then opened and everybody went inside to go shopping. 

Sowat außerirdischet habe ick noch nie gesehen!
