Where is the driver in the first picture?

Indeed a tool, but it may have been an accident.

Odd that the guard/officer doesn't seem to be bothered by the whole shebang.

I highly doubt it would have been an accident, they would have had the place barricaded off fairly well if the royals were on an open bus going through there you would think

Got family from The Netherlands, and just got off the phone because of another matter and heard about it. Don't think it was an accident and most people are in shock and disbelieve.

I have removed one of the pics as this is a family friendly site and honestly that made me feel ill.

Just seen some footage from dutch news report, don't think i'll even post the link here, pretty full on! The thing is that it is a national holiday with lots of children attending and or viewing either at home or on large screens and all live!

I would like to ask that no one post a link to the footage or any images of this. If anyone wants to see it they can google it.

Have no idea why the car was speeding? Just doesn't make sense.
Or some terrorist or some punk kid.
The guy on they bike can buy a lottery ticket.

i dont think there was anyone in that black suzuki swift.. as i had google searched it and there was a clear picture of the suzuki speeding through the croud but there was no1 to be seen in the car? so for sure this wouldnt have been an accident it would have obviously been delibrate and they were obviously aiming to that bus.

EDIT: Never mind there was some1 in the car.
