For those who haven't seen the news today, there has been a terrible attack to our royal dutch family.
Today on the 30 april we in holland, all celebrate queensday. But what was supposed to be a happy and cheerful day ended in horrible nightmare.
While our royal family was approaching in an open bus, a madman drove a car with high speed through a crowd of waiting people in the direction of the bus which he missed and hit a nearby monument.
Allthough no-one of the family was hurt, five people were killed and thirteen others were severly wounded.
All festivities and parties in our country were cancelled because of this terrible accident, which struck the heart of our nation.
"lucky" enough it wasn't a terrorist attack, but the man, who drove the car and was also severly injured, told the police he did it on purpose, but the reason why he did it wasn't clear.
I just saw some uncensored videos of the accident on the internet and I'm completly shocked how one disturbed individual can destroy peoples live and the happiness of a whole country just for his own sake.
There will be a memorial the coming days, but Queensday will never be the same.
My condoleances go to the people who lost their relatives and my prayers to the people who are in hospital.
