Horrible attack in The Netherlands

[PamNY]

Out-of-control cars are so frightening, whether it's intentional or not. What a sad, sad event.

That was a strange video. It looked like it was taken after he struck the crowd, the car seemed to be already wrecked

I'm always surprised when these type things happen in places other than the U.S.

Something similar happened in DC during a festival a couple of years ago. The driver was on lots of drugs.

yes, it was after he struck all those people. It was intentionally, and he wasn't on drugs. It's a 38 year old Dutch male, with no prior convictions or medical history. Why he did it? No one knows.

I was shocked when I saw the footage this morning. One bicycle cop was just barely able to get out of the car's path right before he plowed into the monument.

By the way, it is not Prinsjesdag (which is the 3rd Tuesday in September), but Koninginnedag (Queen's Day). What was supposed to be a national day of celebration ended up with all flags at half-staff, so sad...

Sorry my mistake. Apparently the guy was fired a couple of weeks ago and had some financial problems.

Oranje boven!

I miss Koninginnedag.

I'm also quite surprised this happened. Usually people don't have such hatred against our Queen.
