    Dutch Queen under attack

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8026807.stm

    Quoth bbc
    A car has crashed into the crowd at a parade that included Queen Beatrix and the Dutch royal family, injuring many people, although no royals were hurt.

    Unconfirmed reports said the driver deliberately tried to ram an open bus carrying Queen Beatrix, but missed.

    The black Suzuki injured at least 14 people before crashing into a monument.

    The royals were attending celebrations for the Queen's Day national holiday in the city of Apeldoorn, about 90km (56 miles) from Amsterdam.

    I was expecting a story about a drag queen named Heide.

      Damn, that was a close call for the Dutch Royal Family! My condolences to the families that lost their loved ones from that crash.

        Five people now confirmed dead. There's Youtube footage showing the immediate aftermath, including police attempting CPR. Brings it home.

        What gets me about this is that the Dutch royal family is probably the least offensive set of royals out there.
