Im allright dude, dont worry. Im more interessted in the driver. All main roads were sealed off, but there is an offroad parralel to the main road he came from. He must have waited for the Queens bus and then hit the plank.

And he was the first to run a help.
Maybe he just wanted to beat that guy to death?

This can't be an accident.
He already hitted 2 fences before hitting someone.
So my guess on purpose.

24-26 years, not an old man.
Everything points towards an attack, car has been scanned with x-rays, surrounding also. Its said that nothing has been found but then again, the dutch are masters in keeping info away from the public, it will not surprise me that there was a car bomb but that the info has no9t been released to avoid panic.

Great FAIL for the security!
What if that was a vbied...? The queen would
have been killed.
For fucks sake, look at all the special security guards and then look at the police...
All the sec guys are running arround with their hands on their weapons the normal police are standing there looking stupid.
Uber great fail in security combined with some stupid idiot from we must be lucky it wasnt some fucked up suicide motherfucker.

From Google Earth: Green = sealed of roads. Orange = path of queens bus. Red & red X= Driver's path and crash point. The path he came from was just an old road. http://img522.imageshack.us/my.php?image=naamloospho.jpg

Damn, that car was already torn the hell up before coming into site. He must have hit lots of things and people long before hitting the monument.
Too bad.
