    an apparent attack on the Dutch royal family at a parade in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, has failed, but not before a car drove through a crowd, injuring at least a dozen. The vehicle was headed in the direction of Queen Beatrix before it crashed; the royal family watched in awe.
    :(:mad:

    This seemed to all happen in a matter of seconds. His reactions were probably still catching up with what was happening in front of him. Same with most of the people in the crowd..some of them have realised what's happening, many are still smiling and such looking at something else.

    The TV cameras didn't realise what was going on until it had hit that monument, and the front of the car was already pretty well smashed up before it hit that. Nobody knew what was going on until it had gone past them or was too late.

    The videos just show the end of it where the car crashes into a monument.

    The stills are the only ones showing injured people.

    Imagine how much worse that could have been if the car was packed with explosives. I wouldn't put it past people these days.
