FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“I came to remember the children and to pray for the parents,” said
Cristal Timmermans, a Lommel resident. “It is bad, black day. We are a small
community and everyone knows someone or has a friend who was in the
accident.”
A cluster of children and teachers filed silently out of the playground to add
their contributions to the ever-growing bank of bouquets, soft toys and
messages piled along the outside of the school fence.
One read carried the words “ik mis je Joren” over a big heart, in memory of
one of the 12-year-old victims.
A large group of children from another school in the Flemish-speaking town
near the Dutch border each lay a single white rose, some sobbing heavily and
clinging to their teachers.
At 12pm, the school bell rang and younger children spilled happily out of the
gates to be collected by the parents for lunch. For a moment it was possible
to imagine it was just another day at school.
Across Belgium,
the Netherlands and Valais flags were flown at half mast to mark the day of
mourning. Drivers of buses, metros and trains in Belgium were asked to
switch off their engines as a mark of respect.
Memorials blanketed with flowers mirrored the site of the crash, a tunnel in
the Swiss canton of Valais, where grieving parents had laid flowers as many
still awaited news of their children.
Eight children who survived the accident were flown back to Belgium in a
military aircraft earlier today, landing at the Melsbroek military airport
near Brussels where their loved ones waited.
The cause of the tragedy is still being determined. It is believed that the
bus clipped a curb before veering to the right and slamming into the wall of
an emergency lay-by within the tunnel.
An autopsy on the bus’s drivers, Paul van de Velde, 52, and Geert Michiels,
35, who both worked for Belgian bus company Top Tours, found that neither of
them were drunk nor were they ill at the time of the crash.
On Thursday, reports surfaced that the driver had attempted to play a DVD on
the onboard entertainment system shortly before the collision, suggesting a “moment
of distraction” may have been to blame.
However, both the Swiss police and Top Tours have refuted these claims, and
the investigation into how such a devastating event could happen continues.
