Real life is like this

Warning: Spoilers
I am not sure if the critics above live in America or just dont read the newspapers. The lorry attack is based on the Nice lorry attack where a lorry killed 86 people.

The title ( Gouden Uur ) is ironic. The first sixty minutes is when the chances of saving the lives of blasted or shot victims is greatest. I wondered if it were ironic that this phrase describes the fist 60 mins where the first responder are prevented from going in.

This occurred in the Arena bomb 2017 when a victim looked up into the face of a policeman who had stuck a gun in his face and asked: "are you actually going to do anything to help us?" He passed on to another injured victim and checked HIM out for bombs and arms. An hour was wasted, the telecomms didnt work, the firebrigade was sent away. Real life is much more chaotic

Americans should be aware of the Uvalde shooting where the police delayed entering the school on the grounds of their own safety.

The police in the Netherlands are much more integrated. 10% of British Police are Indian or Afro Caribbean - and I have never seen a policeman with an Arabic or Dari background.

Setting two bombs off within minutes of each other, the second one where the crowds of frightened people may collect was a standard IRA tactic.

So the facts are perfectly real - and based in events. The plot? Well you have to tell a story of sorts.

Well recommended.
