BenjaminKI hate fireworks, especially the ones sold and used by the general public. Spending most of your NYs under a bed with a terrified pet changes your perspective somewhat. Glad the Netherlands has finally banned them and hope the rest of the EU follows. People are so unconsciously selfish, my few minutes of pleasure are more important than terrifying the animals that I live amongst.

Amsterdam's Vondelkerk church “cannot be saved” after New Year’s fire
The historic Vondelkerk in Amsterdam “cannot be saved,” authorities said early Thursday as firefighters continued to battle a massive blaze that erupted shortly after midnight during New Year’s celebrations. The fire has fully engulfed the 154-year-old church, causing parts of the tower and roof to collapse, forcing evacuations, and cutting electricity to roughly 90 nearby homes.
