This image is simply gut wrenching.
This is a picture of a horrible accident in Germany.
The picture may be hard to take for you. If you look closely, you can see what appears to be some survivors of the accident still in the wreckage. Although the picture is quite graphic, it makes you realize how quickly our loved ones can be taken from us. I stayed on the scene to help, and even though I performed mouth to mouth on quite a few of them, none survived.

Re: Horrific Accident in Germany...
If you can't speak German after all that resusitation (spelling?), you ain't never gonna!
Sadder than the accident itself is the fact that it was Dutch beer in Germany of all places!!! Should be enough to make anyone yodel in misery.

Re: Horrific Accident in Germany...
years ago in another life there was a small liquor store that i would buy grolsch from. it had the porcelain top and heavy bottle back then i don't know if it still has it doesn't appear to have it in the picture. anyway i would buy it from one store and return the bottle back to the same store for a refund on the bottle with the porcelain top. seems the store sold the bottle for $2.00 back then and refunded $2.50 for the bottle and top. i don't know if it was a mistake but i never pointed it out to the poor folks. i just thanked my lucky stars and kept drinking. this carried on for over a year. i gave up alcohol due to it was a hard living trying to stay lucid enough to make a full day's pay drinking and recycling
Re: Horrific Accident in Germany...
Sadly, yet another case of alcohol abuse.

Re: Horrific Accident in Germany...
It is brewed in Holland(aka "the Netherlands")! Dutch is the language of Holland and the people of Holland are Dutch. Not to be confused with "Pennsylvania Dutch" or "the Pennsylvania Dutch" , who are really German and speak an old dialect of the German language which over the last 300 yrs has become screwed up. Dutch was originally derived from the German word "Deutsch" which in German means "German". (Kind of like Christopher Columbus calling the natives of the new world "Indians" because he thought he had landed in India!)

Good history lesson! I enjoy the derivative of language. Big words. Did I say that right? 1886.kaschi wrote:It is brewed in Holland(aka "the Netherlands")!

OT: Do you know that Old Saxon, another more than thousand year low Greman dialect is one of the origines of the English language. If you compare the Old English story Beowulf with the Old Saxon Tatian, you will see that it is the same language with very small - but noticable! - differences.
Luckily there seem to be a lot of uncrashed bottles to empty - fine place for a pic-nic.

Re: Horrific Accident in Germany...
Correct. "Low German" dialects are not only spoken in northern Germany today. Holland Dutch is indeed a low Germanic dialect(as is Flemish which is spoken in Belgium and I believe parts of southern Holland and Luxembourg). I lived in Germany for 7 years near the Dutch border and could receive their TV and Radio stations. If you listen really carefully and can understand both German and English, you will also be able to pick up a lot of the conversation. Even more so if you look at a Dutch newspaper!
On another note, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Icelandic are also Germanic languages.
