headed towards a parade in the small town of Appalorne
- Role: setting
- In the video: A man steals a car and drives through police barriers into spectators at a Queen’s Day parade where the royal family was riding. Seven people die, he dies the next day and says he meant to kill the queen. National Dutch media only called him Karst T.
- Why it matters: Final case for press anonymity.
- Real vs. fictional: Event is historically documented in Apeldoorn. The 30 April 2009 Queen’s Day attack happened in Apeldoorn (Karst Tates); transcript misheard the name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apeldoorn
