Just saw the documentary. Very often I walk past that place on the rokin in Amsterdam. Never realized that something so tragic happened there. I was 9 years old back than. I will remember the documentary next time I will pass the rokin, being coming week.

If there are people nearby they were ASKED to help by the police fire brigade to hold the sheets for victims to jump into, for example. The real 'spectators' were at a distance because of the intense heat!

First check you facts VidCrew! Watch the documentary 13/05 Ned2 21:15hrs.

Yes, I'm the guy in the program, I was there, and saw it first hand!!

ik weet nog dat mijn vader is wezen kijken bij deze brand.

achteraf gezien had hij daar best wel spijt van gezien de slachtoffers.
