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.

People like that crazyman hate everybody. If it wasn't the queen it was someone else. Like the babykiller we had a couple of months ago. Originally Posted by Fujichants

I didn't hear about the baby killer. What is this world coming to?

There was a 20 year old man in Belgium who went into a daycare center and stabbed 3 baby's and a nurse to death. Fortunately the daycare center was near a hospital so 5 other baby's could be saved. It was a real horror story. Originally Posted by Fujichants

Ugh! The worst I remember from Belgium was that Dutroux (sp?) guy. I haven't been to Holland and Belgium since 2002.
