    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.

    They said happened so quick no one had time to react,if u notice even in the crowd only some seem to have realised what was going on.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,144 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    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.

    Attacked them in a suzuki swift? :confused:

    Crazy son of a bitch.

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

    The stills are the only ones showing injured people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,553 ✭✭✭Dubh Geannain

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

    Thought the driver is probably dead? :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,665 ✭✭✭gary the great


    Im over here now...people are saying they still want to party and not let this ruin the day. That picture is horrible though.
    People are saying the Queen was going to hand over to the Prince today as well...theres a press conference in an hour.

    On another note, Queens days eve is mental, kicks the ass of St Paddys day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,977 ✭✭✭Soby


    How the hell did that car get in such a state before it hit the monument thing anyway?Surely if it crashed somewhere before word woulda got passed to the police or the bodyguards around the bus.

    I thought that was her aswell but I'm not sure now. In the first (disturbing) picture she's barefoot but is wearing shoes in the recovery one. Possibly her mother? They are dressed very similarly.

    'Royal shock'

    Cynthia Boll, a photographer at the scene, told the BBC the car was already badly damaged before it slammed into the crowds at high speed.

    "There were people everywhere, you could definitely see that it was serious because everywhere was blood and shoes ripped off and all the people giving CPR," she said.

    Dutch TV (http://www.nos.nl/journaal24/) is saying 2 dead, 23 injured, of which 6 seriously at the moment.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,862 ✭✭✭✭inforfun


    4 dead.
    This was not an accident, dipstick confirmed to the police that it was on purpose.
    I can not find anything about motif and whether the attack was on the royal family or on the general public.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭smileysurfer


    God I feel physically sick looking at these pictures! Those poor people!! Dont think Il watch the video!! What a disgusting thing to do! If that guy does survive he better get locked away for life!! :eek:
