April 30th, Queensday in Holland.
The whole country is celebrating the Queen's birthday (though her birthay is jan. 31th, we celebrate it today). The Queen and her family was visiting a city called Apeldoorn. At aproximly 12 o clock, a car broke through the people who where watching the Queen in her bus when she drove through the town.
The royal family is shocked, but unharmed, though the car came up to 5 meters from the bus. But unfortunately at least 13 people where injured and probably one died. It's still unkown if it was an accident or an attack.
I am shocked! This was live on television!
I'll try to keep you updated, but I am heading to town in a few minutes (not Apeldoorn). I hope the festival is still going on here.
Here is a video of the incident.
WARNING: VIDEO MATERIAL CAN BE SHOCKING!

David emerges from the store slowly. He braces himself against a parked car and then keeps on walking in a nightmarish daze.
WE PULL BACK as David blends in with dozens and dozens of ordinary people, walking on an ordinary street, in an ordinary city.
