|
|
This day started very good, my plan was going to visit every junk sale in my city.
It turned out to be that i went to the center of the city by metro, to go to the big junk sale there.
I got a quite nice FDIV pentium 90 goldcap SX923 that was on a socket 7 board for 2 euro.
From the same seller i also got a SL32B slot 1 Celeron 333/66 for 1 euro.
Also a ISA Tseng labs gfx card, and a Trust 3Dfx Voodoo Dragon.
From a other seller bought a Asrock K7S41 mobo with a AMD Athlon XP 2100, for 2 (!) euro
I saw way more stuff, but i hadn't that much money with me, and the stuff was generally overpriced (typical dutch thing )
I ate something in a indochinese restaurant ( saté with nasi, for the ones wondering what i ate ), and then i went to the Mediamarkt (big german consumer electronic store, for the ones that don't know the store).
When we were finished there, we went to home again.
Well, not me, i wanted to go to my grandmother, because i wanted to tell her about my schooltrip to germany ( yes i went to germany last week, Oranienburg, to be more precise).
When i got there, and got at here place, i saw on the TV that in Apeldoorn, the place where the royal family was celebrating Queen's day, happened a accident.
At 11:50 GMT+1, a 38 year old Dutch man ran through a blockade into the crowd that was watching at the royal family with his Suziki Swift, and eventually crashed into a statue.
He drove with such speed, that the people flew in the air when they were hit by the car.
The result of this were 5 deaths, 3 men and 2 women. 12 people were injured, the injured are 5 men, 4 women and 3 childs of 9, 15 and 16 years old.
^Here you can see the Suziki Swift, raging through the blocked street
^The car crashed eventually into a monument.
^Shocked reactions of the royal family, the Queen is the one with the red hat on

was it drunken driver? |
No, it wasn't a drunken driver.
He did it on purpose to attack the royal family that were in the bus, and his plan (people at least think) was to hit the bus in the cornering, and let it fall over.
The 38 year old driver, Karst T., has died of his injuries himself last evening.
So we will never knew why he really did it  |
