This footage of reporters being left flabbergasted when they saw the speed of a $70 million Japanese Maglev train is sure to put a smile on your face.
The Japanese Maglev train is a bullet train that uses powerful magnets to lift the carriages and propel them forward, so it looks almost like the whole thing is levitating.
It was announced in 2025 that a new magnetic bullet train will connect Tokyo and Osaka in just one hour, but the already existing ones are true masterclasses in tech, allegedly reaching top speeds of 310mph.
You wouldn’t be blamed for reacting like the Japanese news reporters above in pure shock and astounded awe – check it out above.
