It's such an enormous tragedy. CNN has shown footage too, and there they talk of 4 people dead, but on Dutch tv one person has been confirmed as having died, so far. There will be a press conference at 15.45, and hopefully we'll learn more then. I can't imagine this was an accident, but nobody knows for sure why this has happened. If it was deliberate... why are there always people who want to ruin things for everyone else? Like you said, this was such a happy day, beautiful weather, people have been preparing for this day for months... It's so very sad, the way this turned out. But right now there's only shock, and confusion, and sadness. Festivities all around the country are being cancelled now, too. Our national celebration, ruined. It's as if the weather knows, because it's getting cloudy.
