Notor in the ICE: Police use according to strange smell between Basel and Hamburg!

On October 7, 2025, ICE 72 occurred on the journey between Basel and Hamburg. Travelers complained of respiratory trace caused by a stinging smell that spread on the train. At 7:30 p.m., the express train kept in no way at the Bad Bevensen, Lower Saxony train station, where emergency services, fire brigade and the state and federal police were immediately alerted. The security forces were quickly on site to clarify the incident and to secure the situation. While the fire brigade carried out measurements, the "biting" smell already disappeared, which made the cause of the problem even more unclear. According to [Radio Hamburg] (https://www.radiohamburg.de/aktuelles/hamburg/fahrg%C3%A4ste-klagen-%C3%BCber-ATemwegen- ID1488236.html) a total of 39 passengers were examined, but no inpatient treatment was necessary.

Deutsche Bahn had an emergency manager to coordinate the on -site operations, which shows how important a well -prepared reaction to such emergencies is. Compliance with the security standards is a central topic, not only in train traffic, but also in bus and transportation as a whole. According to the [Nordsee-Zeitung] (https://www.nordsee-zeitung.de/region/atemwegwegenzreizungen-im-ice-polet-preissenden-geruch- 323294.html), the affected car was blocked after the incident, and the train was able to continue his trip to Hamburg an hour later. Despite the critical situation, all passengers were able to continue their trip.

Investigations and security

The federal police have initiated the investigation to clarify the incident and asks witnesses for clues. This is crucial, because security in public transport depends not only on the technology, but also on effective management in emergencies. As is generally emphasized in the industry, comprehensive preparation for emergencies is essential. Security and Health must always be first in the transport system.

The incident reminds us of how quickly situations can change and how important it is that drivers and security teams are well trained and are informed about the necessary procedures. In the case of any irregularities in the transport service, both passengers and the staff should be willing to act according to clear instructions. In cases like this, it is essential to keep calm and react quickly to ensure the security of everyone.

Finally, the question remains open what exactly the cause of the irritating smell was and how similar incidents can be prevented in the future. The investigation is expected to provide important findings that could lead to a safer travel experience for everyone.
