Seems like Queen Beatrix and her family escaped what could have been a nasty attack today during Queens Day festivities. As it is, still a sad day for Holland.

Five people were killed in Holland when a speeding car ploughed into spectators at a parade in what appeared to be an attempted attack on
the Dutch queen.
The vehicle narrowly missed a bus carrying the royal family as it careered into the crowd before hitting a stone monument.
The black Suzuki appeared to target the open bus, which was carrying Queen Beatrix and her family through the town of Apeldoorn, about 55 miles from Amsterdam, during the Queen's Day festivities.
The driver, a white 38-year-old Dutchman, had reportedly lost his job as a security officer a few months ago and was about to be evicted from his apartment in the town of Huissen, near Utrecht, because he could no longer pay the rent.
