The above video was taken this evening just after 8pm.\u00a0 It’s our Remembrance Day (Dodenherdenking) in the Netherlands today and during a 2 minute silence at Dam Square in Amsterdam panic broke out.\u00a0 There are a number of stories in regards to what started it all, someone screaming, becoming unwell and knocking a barrier over, knocking over some baggage, talking on their mobile, or arguing. Who knows, but regardless\u2026whatever it was it scared the bejesus out of a lot of people.<\/p>\n

All I know is, I wouldn\u2019t want to be the person who started it. Especially if it was someone on their mobile or just acting out. \u00a0Way to show your respect jackass.<\/p>\n

Who can blame them really, being so close to the royal family after what happened last year.<\/p>\n

On Queen’s Day (Koninginnedag<\/a>, a Dutch holiday celebrating the Queen’s Birthday) 2009 celebrations ended badly when a disturbed man drove through a barricade and the crowd in an attempt to attack the royal family. In the end he died and took a number of others with him.\u00a0 It was a very sad and tragic day in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

So who wouldn\u2019t be jumpy this year, even just a little.<\/p>\n

Here is the video from the Queen’s Day Parade last year.<\/p>\n

Hopefully nobody was too badly hurt in the panic this year, and more than anything, lets hope that maybe next year the spring celebrations will go by with a little less drama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
