Japan's built had a impossible problem... until a tiny bird solved it. Japan’s famous bullet train once had a huge problem. Every time it exited a tunnel, it created a loud sonic boom that disturbed people living nearby. Engineers struggled for years to fix it. Then one engineer who loved bird-watching noticed something incredible. The kingfisher bird dives from air into water at high speed without making a splash. So engineers redesigned the nose of the Shinkansen train to look like the bird’s beak.
