Darwin says, "Accepted into the Archive. (At Risk Survivor)"

In Hindeloopen, The Netherlands, a 33 year old man was seriously wounded. He was carpooling to work when he mentioned to his colleague he was carrying a self-made bomb with him. His colleague, who was driving, immediately stopped the car and threw the want-to-be terrorist out. Outside the car the bomb maker tried to disarm the bomb, apparently in an attempt to convince his co-worker that there was nothing to fear and that everything was perfectly safe. As a result the bomb exploded, blasting away several of his body parts. The police later stated that the bomb maker probably crossed the detonator wires. The man is now in hospital, which boy parts are missing is unknown. His co-worker is “…shaken but unharmed…” according to the police.

Supposedly something error has will dismantle, then the man the explosive savage. Explosive The frieze drunk vanochtend in the car at a colleague. Those its car put immediately on the side the moment he heard that there was a bomb to border. The booming builder got off and the not much later exploded explosive. The police force suspects that the Hinderlooper two have kept lighting wires against each other, writes the Leeuwarder currently. The colleague has terribly been scared unhurt, but. The booming builder misses some body parts.

Een 33-jarige man uit Hindeloopen ligt met zware verwondingen in het ziekenhuis, nadat een bom die hij zelf had gemaakt, per ongeluk ontplofte. Vermoedelijk is er iets fout gegaan, toen de man het explosief wilde demonteren.

De Fries zat vanochtend in de auto bij een collega. Die zette zijn auto meteen aan de kant op het moment dat hij hoorde dat er een bom aan boord was. De bommenbouwer stapte uit en niet veel later ontplofte het explosief. De politie vermoedt dat de Hinderlooper twee ontstekingsdraden tegen elkaar heeft gehouden, schrijft De Leeuwarder Courant.

De collega is ongedeerd, maar ontzettend geschrokken. De bommenbouwer mist enkele lichaamsdelen.

"Thanks for the lift. By the way, I have a bomb." The driver was very smart to kick him out, and very lucky he wasn't also injured.
