I watched.. but on tv though. And I thought the same, i'm glad you guys stayed at home!

It was so weird, it seemed by the sound of it that the car had crashed in to something before it barged through the audience. That explains why it was all mashed up by the time the camera's caught it, I suppose... And I guess that also explains why it didn't hit the bus of the royal family, must be impossible to aim in a car that's banged up like that.

Thank God it came to a halt in that monument-thingie, imagine it had missed that and ran in to the audience behind.. *shudddderrrr*

At first I thought it was some bizarre accident but I have to admit... I am beginning to believe that it may have been an attack on the royals. :(

I thought about you guys and hoped that you indeed, as planned, wouldn't have gone to watch! Glad to hear you're okay!

Yeah, I was a bit concerned about you guys. It's really awful. And to happen in the town you live in must feel a bit surreal.

It is a very weird feeling, indeed.

I said I didn't care much for the royal family so I had no interest in going to watch their parade, but I don't want them to die either, you know?

It's too bad about the innocent bystanders that didn't see this coming at all.
(I am relieved about one thing though, that the attack was perpetrated by a white, Dutch man. I can only begin to imagine the uproar had a "foreigner" or "dark-skinned" person done this to their Queen...)

How about you guys, did you have a nice celebration over there?

Yeah, I thought the same thing! I was sooo glad it was a white guy. If it was a muslim man, the media would be up in arms! It's not really fair though, you know?

Yeah... shit hit the fan.

That kid with the Mexican flu is doing well, though. So, that's good :)
