Holy SMOKES, Literally: Failed Car Bombing in Public Square in Amsterdam
[HotAir] What...well. Hold that thought.

We know exactly what's going on in Europe, and lately it's been especially spicey in Amsterdam, capital city of the Netherlands.

They have a car problem.

Europeans cars drive into crowds, and now they have cars that try to blow themselves up in the middle of public squares packed with people going about their day.

You can see the small explosion in the little red Fiat-looking car in the bottom right of the screen, just to the left of the monument.



What a frickin' miracle this one was a misfire and only set the failed terrorist aflame.

Video emerging from the scene showed the small red vehicle engulfed in flames, with reports the driver crawled out of the vehicle alight before members of the public ran to assist the dazed driver.

Thick smoke could be seen billowing into the sky, with passers by unsure of the events unfolding in front of them - as locals ran from the scene.

Further footage of the incident showed the dazed driver clambering from the vehicle, trousers around his ankles, as emergency services arrived on the scene.

It's believed no other people were injured in the incident, with the driver receiving medical attention at the scene before being taken to hospital.

… Dutch police confirmed the man had been arrested and was under police guard in hospital.
