Ikr. I was born in 97. I cannot imagine something like not being screen through airport security at all. Or paying cash for a plane ticket without having to give them ID. It seems unthinkable. I was young, but I remember that day. It’s my earliest memory that i can recall.
The plane flying over the train and making a lot of noise and creating that smoke was a novel idea. Whoever thought of that is a very wise person. My hats off to the Royal Dutch Marines and everyone involved in the rescue of all the hostages. I was very impressed by the school principal and the teachers in making the decision that the person closest to the grenade will have to jump on it when the terrorists decide to use it to hurt the children to absorb the blast thereby protecting the innocent children. And of the 167 hostages only 2 perished. The Royal Dutch Marines and everyone involved in the rescue are fantastic as well as HEROES. We truly serve an AWESOME GOD. Hallelujah.
Crazy to think that those three terrorist only served 9yrs in prison and have all been released. They should be serving life in prison for the two hostages that lost their lives. Smh!
I believe Army Rangers did that at Cabantuan in the Philippines in WWII as they were moving in to rescue POWs. I believe it was a USAAF P-61 Black Widow.
If God had anything to do with it it would not have happened in the first place .................thank the marines for the outcome not your so called God
I believe the children tried their best to act sick or at least they forced their selves to be sick. They saw from their other classmates what was happening and most of them picked it up. If this is the case, they srsly are brilliant kids!

@@mitoma31 That appears to be your problem, not mine. By using a criminal terrorist group's definition of justice we see how warped your sense of justice can be. Criminals like ISIS have no say in what justice is in a moral world. Their evil deeds are devoid of ethics, rationality, fairness and law. You go on to excuse the surviving terrorists in the Netherlands double siege terror attack and kidnappings as just "accomplices". That of course would be laughable if it wasn't so disingenuous and sick. These evil criminals attacked and kidnapped 160 innocent people including 105 children. Six hostages were seriously injured and two more died. Nine years is not a long sentence for such a heinous crime. It equates to 20 days in prison for harming each victim. It equates to only 4.5 years for each murdered victim. That is not justice. Shockingly, you go on to say that these monstrous criminals do not deserve to be punished more than the 9 years (that you say was necessary) because it costs money to incarcerate them and that a longer punishment would cause them some difficulty "reintegrating into society". A just punishment of death or life imprisonment without the possibility of parole would have helped assuage your bleeding heart concerns.

This is a true heroic action to rescue children. I admire the school principal n his entire teaching staff for their bravely. The children are also very brave. I salute marines n police officers for their heroic actions to rescue the children. God bless them especially the marines.
I think it's possible that the children noticed that the one child was released when she got violently ill and they subconsciously saw that getting sick was a possible way out so the children did what little they could to increase their chances of survival. I don't think the children faked it, but they were in a life or death situation and their bodies reacted.
They were wrong about one huge thing. Those special forces were scared. They were scared of failing, of dying, and many more things. They just chose to face their fears instead of running away. That is the real difference between a coward and a hero, and I am sadly a coward. I have met heroes, and none of them wore capes. They sometimes wore badges or uniforms, but not always. Sometimes cowards try to hide by wearing badges and uniforms, but they always show their true self and get caught.
I feel a bit of context is missing, namely why the Moluccans attacked the train and school: after fighting for the Dutch in a former colony, they were exiled to the Netherlands, with the Dutch government promising they would eventually get their own independent state. Over 25 years passed and the Moluccans were still living in 'temporary' camps - often in poor conditions - and the promise by the Dutch government for the independent state was never fulfilled. People were angry, and some of the younger Moluccans decided to take up arms to bring attention to their cause. That's why these individuals attacked the two sites. I'm not saying that their actions were justified, but I feel that, with this bit of information included, it makes a little more 'sense' as to why they attacked. It should also be noted that there is still a lot of controversy about the actions of the Marines on that day - mainly about whether they used excessive force and whether some hostages were or were not executed after having already surrendered. I can't really judge this myself, as I do not have all the details (hell, I wasn't even born when this happened), and, in hindsight it is always easier to judge actions like these, but what stands out to me most of all is the tragedy and the pain. The victims', their saviours, but also the Moluccans', who may have felt so trapped and betrayed that they saw no other option than to take up arms (once again, not saying that their actions were justified). So much pain, it's really sad..

In my personal interactions with Dutch military personnel and law enforcement, as a former United States Special Forces combat Veteran and former law enforcement officer in the United States of America, it is apparent that they are the only Dutch with any sense of reality. Virtually all other Dutch are passively responsive to the almighty authority of government, just as good sheeple should be.

@@packrat76 - Nor did an American "tunnel rat" fresh at home from the Vietnam Conflict. It seems Charles Cohea disapproved of a burglar who locked his children in a closet while stealing his stereo. The burglar ended up giving a "pound of flesh nearest the heart" and collapsing shortly as a result. Charles was tried, convicted, and sentenced for 1st Degree Murder and took up residence in the California state prison at Folsom. Upon his appeal, which I sat in to observe, his sentence was reduced to time served. The original attorney had failed to use a quite valid PTSD defense, a tactic I've kept in the back of my mind ever since, should it be needed. To the best of my knowledge, this was the first use of that defense nationwide, and the topnotch attorney who brought it forward on appeal certainly earned my respect. Before taking a lack of sympathy to the next level and acting upon it, inform your attorney of the defense you'll need, if caught. No sense serving time for what one's mind says is right and justified. De Oppresso Liber
In the end, terrorists are terrorists, no matter the cause. If you put a gun to an innocent man's head, or even worse, a child, you will suffer the consequences.
@@extremelycreativeusername - Generally speaking, with the longstanding definition of "terrorist" in mind, I agree. *However,* the corrupt, federal government bureaucrats in our United States of America have redefined "terrorist" to include non-violent, law-abiding, responsible, engaged parents as "terrorists," all for wanting to have a truthful education for their children. In accordance with Alinsky's doctrinal rules, redefining language is the road to tyranny. Now, Canadian Minister Trudeau has taken a page from the same book, minimizing and denigrating Canadians opposed to sweeping, government mandates, a move under active consideration by the Marxist executive branch in our United States of America. Under the FauxBama regime, Veterans were defined as "potential domestic terrorists" and more recently upgraded to reflect that we were no longer merely "potential." Serve one's country honorably, become a "terrorist!" Along with "racist" and an ever longer list of other deprecations, these words lose meaning with blanket use, conditioning sheeple to acceptance of additional, despotic controls. If parking trucks, serving one's country, having the "wrong" color of skin, or thinking "improperly" earns the label of "terrorist," count me in! De Oppresso Liber
When I was in primary and secondary school, eating chalk was a common thing classmates would do to skip school. They would start vomitting and teachers let them go home. I am sure that's what the children in this case did as well. So it was either the students who planned that or the teachers, not the people from the outside.
The narrator speaks of "Commandos" sometimes. This was a pure Marine BBE operation, a special support unit of the Marines and one of the Elite counter terrorism units in the World.. 44:50 You can't escape the Marines...
@@miltononyango Gotta remember that the Navy Seals, as with any special forces unit, are a rare breed. If you trained even regular soldiers in the same way you trained the Navy Seals, you'd have a much smaller army (and one that is actually less capable due to their smaller numbers)

The train was the most risky rescue have ever seen,the passengers were really lucky,,I mean what if none went down as marines suspected,, but thank God it went smooth except the two(God rest their) souls) still shaken after watching,, Jees
I was about the same age as the kids held in that school ( in my country) It made a real big impression on me. Especially since this did not happen in a big city or something...but a small village, just like the one where we lived.
Yeah, that is funny, but if they would recognize they put some harmless fever producing substance in the children food, a ton of idiots would rage against them. Anyways, they did the right thing. Any of the kids would have taken double portion of the drug lol...
That then Country, yes...I'm ashamed for THIS nowadays Netherlands. No God, no love for each other...scared from a flu that has a much lesser death rate than the common flu.. .and they have an MP that mirrors the evil minds of the people.
In Holland lives are way more worth than in 2nd world country USA. Compared the numer of people killed in USA to a modern Northern Western country. The differences is day and light
@@Inferi0r If that were true, then you wouldn't have an issue with people protecting themselves from criminals. Also, have you forgotten about the population numbers? The US has a population of 350 MILLION people, the majority of which are in large cities. Holland has a population of 6 Million, most of which are actually on the countryside. When people are clustered in large cities that increases the likelihood of problems, including crime. It's why here in the US, crime is more prominent in the cities than in the countryside. As I told someone else, before you go bashing another country, you might want to educate yourself on it.
@@thombos1079 Wrong, the information I'm getting is that Holland - which is the former province of the western coast of the Netherlands, has 6 million people. I wasn't at all talking about the entirety of the Netherlands, but rather just one part of it. However, even so, it doesn't doesn't take away from the fact that it has a far fewer people than the US and thus crime in the US would naturally be viewed as higher due to our much higher population compared to other countries. However, if you look at the average, crime here is lower than in other countries. By the way, for our foreigners here, firearm related crime is higher in cities like Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Diego, Austin. This is because of gun control laws that only affect the law abiding citizens, they do not affect the criminals because criminals do not obey the law (never have, never will) so that leaves the law abidding open to being victims as they lack the means of protecting themselves from the criminals. Now, if you got rid of those cities, the US would have one of the lowest firearm related crime. (There's a reason why cities and states with lax gun control have fewer firearm related crime, compared to cities/states with gun control. After all, criminals will commit their crimes in places they know they won't have opposition) Which is why I love my state and my city, where we allow open and concealed carry. Despite having a population of just under 3m, we have the lowest firearm related crime in the country and that is largely due to the armed citizenry (criminals do not like it when their victims are armed, tends to lead to THEM being killed) There's a reason I carry, as I am not interested in becoming a victim.
Extremely impressive operation, but I'd say that the terrorists were smart in this case. Killing won't get them anywhere at all, and in the end, they managed to live. I thought the Iranian Embassy Seige was impressive, but now I think this is even better.
Are you sure it is a good idea to give away strategy and tactics even after this long period of time? Good thing there wasn't a news crew reporting, minute by minute, the Marines actions.
Yah reminds me of a hijacking that happened in our country where the media reported what was happening outside and it so happened that there was a television inside the transport so the hijacker could see what was going on 🤷🏼♀️ Failure of media
@@doomcat2633 no. It was something that happened years ago. There were no sniper involved. This former soldier hijacked a bus full of tourists. The media went and broadcasted what was happening realtime. And they showed the scene where the police arrested the hijackers brother so this hijacker, upon seeing it on the television, got mad and started killing everyone in the bus 🤷🏼♀️
@@patronus9005 Ohh I know that but I'm sure there were snipers(based on the documentary I've watched) but incase, to know we are talking about the same thing is it the Quirino grandstand hostage taking?
Amazing 💥👍 Wow, that was truly a “double siege.” The elite few, yes indeed. Shout out to the Dutch Marine at the end that basically said Idgaf if you’re a territorst, I just better not get my orders
Why the children were so much ill ? Its because of the stress, when you have so much stress, you just do things. I cry, someone is angry, someone is vomiting and someone just passes out.
It was smart of them to make the children sick. Eym positive they put something in the food to only make them nauseous. However, they will never be reveal that tactic. Eym glad it worked without seriously hurting the children. It may have saved their lives. Or that's the worst case of nerves.

After having several different different thoughts on rescue, two lives lost ! No fault of the Marines! & two only injury's! I was ready too give them the plain! But I now see that could have been wears, involving more resources, different angences, an airline, a different country, "O" 😢 Dutch You Did A Master Class On This One ! O Thank You ☀️🎖️✊
Is someone not going to mention that the mediator kinda played a part on how this event have ended? Why would they show the letter to the terrorist without letting the military or idk-what-that-group-is-called know? Like, they were close to getting there without having to shed blood from either side (the terrorist group is probably feeling hopeless by then) but then that letter gave them hope and strengthen their diminishing resolve. Like if you're going to be a mediator, or negotiator, do it right 🤦🏼♀️ it's life and death.
Since you obviously slept through history classes you might Google New Amsterdam.... Just because you are unaware of the Netherlands doesn't mean no one has.
A rescue device should be invented. In my short story, i invented a gas grenade that puts individuals to sleep, giving ample time for the rescue team to penetrate the hostage area with gas masks. The gas penetrates small crevices so that there is no need to throw the grenade inside the hostage area. If there is no way to place the grenade outside the hostage area, it must be fired throw a window. There are also more devices that must be invented suited for a particular situation. A robot or two desguised as mediator is also an idea. Miniature drones are also effective

Charles was tried, convicted, and sentenced for 1st Degree Murder and took up residence in the California state prison at Folsom. Upon his appeal, which I sat in to observe, his sentence was reduced to time served. The original attorney had failed to use a quite valid PTSD defense, a tactic I've kept in the back of my mind ever since, should it be needed. To the best of my knowledge, this was the first use of that defense nationwide, and the topnotch attorney who brought it forward on appeal certainly earned my respect.
Before taking a lack of sympathy to the next level and acting upon it, inform your attorney of the defense you'll need, if caught. No sense serving time for what one's mind says is right and justified.

In the end, terrorists are terrorists, no matter the cause. If you put a gun to an innocent man's head, or even worse, a child, you will suffer the consequences.
@@extremelycreativeusername - Generally speaking, with the longstanding definition of "terrorist" in mind, I agree. *However,* the corrupt, federal government bureaucrats in our United States of America have redefined "terrorist" to include non-violent, law-abiding, responsible, engaged parents as "terrorists," all for wanting to have a truthful education for their children. In accordance with Alinsky's doctrinal rules, redefining language is the road to tyranny. Now, Canadian Minister Trudeau has taken a page from the same book, minimizing and denigrating Canadians opposed to sweeping, government mandates, a move under active consideration by the Marxist executive branch in our United States of America. Under the FauxBama regime, Veterans were defined as "potential domestic terrorists" and more recently upgraded to reflect that we were no longer merely "potential." Serve one's country honorably, become a "terrorist!" Along with "racist" and an ever longer list of other deprecations, these words lose meaning with blanket use, conditioning sheeple to acceptance of additional, despotic controls. If parking trucks, serving one's country, having the "wrong" color of skin, or thinking "improperly" earns the label of "terrorist," count me in!

These documentaries are really well made! Runs like movies.
God Bless All Marines keep them safe.
They obviously made the children sick and told everyone it was contagious and causes death so they would let them out. Good on them though
When I was in primary and secondary school, eating chalk was a common thing classmates would do to skip school. They would start vomitting and teachers let them go home. I am sure that's what the children in this case did as well. So it was either the students who planned that or the teachers, not the people from the outside.
@@rkurt42 lmao
@@rkurt42 smart tho
Yes old lady here thinks they were afraid to contaminated
But no they were just need their demands
Not to kill children not even adults.
@@rkurt42 How could they eat chalk without the terrorists seeing it? And why didn't they tell about it afterwards?
the marines did a great job they should all be honored.
ps : it would also be nice to provide subtitles.
The narrator speaks of "Commandos" sometimes. This was a pure Marine BBE operation, a special support unit of the Marines and one of the Elite counter terrorism units in the World..

You can't escape the Marines...
We wait for week to watch these documentries. Navy seal ones are amazing...
ya.
navy seals are well trained , wish they could do the same to the solders , they are well prepared
They are true heroes.
@@JJ-rf7dg i
@@miltononyango Gotta remember that the Navy Seals, as with any special forces unit, are a rare breed. If you trained even regular soldiers in the same way you trained the Navy Seals, you'd have a much smaller army (and one that is actually less capable due to their smaller numbers)

@Daniël Wassink I think they were just trying to say they saw it on tv, not that they were there to experience it first hand.
@Daniël Wassink Either that or English isn't their first language, I don't know, I've never met them. I wasn't verifying them, just clarifying what they said.
The train was the most risky rescue have ever seen,the passengers were really lucky,,I mean what if none went down as marines suspected,, but thank God it went smooth except the two(God rest their) souls) still shaken after watching,, Jees
Incredible. Dutch frogmen direct action badass strong men. Semper Fi, US Marine infantryman 1997-2006 Medically retired
Correct. The Dutch Marsof has a special counterterror unit named M squadron.
I was about the same age as the kids held in that school ( in my country) It made a real big impression on me. Especially since this did not happen in a big city or something...but a small village, just like the one where we lived.
"We didn't put anything in that food" 😅😅😅 okay
Yeah, that is funny, but if they would recognize they put some harmless fever producing substance in the children food, a ton of idiots would rage against them. Anyways, they did the right thing. Any of the kids would have taken double portion of the drug lol...
Well she didn’t lie they put it in the water
They obviously put something in the food

@@Steinstra-vj7wl What an idiot.
@@hilariousname6826 well that was 5 months ago for you where the death rate was lower.
If they were Navy seals or SAS commandos theywould take direct action both in the school and in the train God bless those brave soldiers
That might've been true back then; but in today's political climate those terrorists would get paid instead.
In Holland lives are way more worth than in 2nd world country USA.
Compared the numer of people killed in USA to a modern Northern Western country. The differences is day and light
@@Inferi0r If that were true, then you wouldn't have an issue with people protecting themselves from criminals.
Also, have you forgotten about the population numbers? The US has a population of 350 MILLION people, the majority of which are in large cities. Holland has a population of 6 Million, most of which are actually on the countryside.
When people are clustered in large cities that increases the likelihood of problems, including crime. It's why here in the US, crime is more prominent in the cities than in the countryside.
As I told someone else, before you go bashing another country, you might want to educate yourself on it.
@@Suisfonia i dont know where you got those numbers from but theres no 6 million people in the netherlands, Theres 17 million. and 13 million in 1977
@@thombos1079 Wrong, the information I'm getting is that Holland - which is the former province of the western coast of the Netherlands, has 6 million people.
I wasn't at all talking about the entirety of the Netherlands, but rather just one part of it.
However, even so, it doesn't doesn't take away from the fact that it has a far fewer people than the US and thus crime in the US would naturally be viewed as higher due to our much higher population compared to other countries. However, if you look at the average, crime here is lower than in other countries.
By the way, for our foreigners here, firearm related crime is higher in cities like Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Diego, Austin. This is because of gun control laws that only affect the law abiding citizens, they do not affect the criminals because criminals do not obey the law (never have, never will) so that leaves the law abidding open to being victims as they lack the means of protecting themselves from the criminals. Now, if you got rid of those cities, the US would have one of the lowest firearm related crime. (There's a reason why cities and states with lax gun control have fewer firearm related crime, compared to cities/states with gun control. After all, criminals will commit their crimes in places they know they won't have opposition)
Which is why I love my state and my city, where we allow open and concealed carry. Despite having a population of just under 3m, we have the lowest firearm related crime in the country and that is largely due to the armed citizenry (criminals do not like it when their victims are armed, tends to lead to THEM being killed)
There's a reason I carry, as I am not interested in becoming a victim.
I can't believe that this wasn't even brought up in Dutch history classes
Extremely impressive operation, but I'd say that the terrorists were smart in this case. Killing won't get them anywhere at all, and in the end, they managed to live. I thought the Iranian Embassy Seige was impressive, but now I think this is even better.
SALUTE TO THE DUTCH MARINES &COMMANDOS FOR SAFELY RELEASED FROM BOTH THE TRAIN & SCHOOL. AGAIN SALUTE THEM AGAIN. THANKS. FROM INDIA, D. DALAL.
Are you sure it is a good idea to give away strategy and tactics even after this long period of time? Good thing there wasn't a news crew reporting, minute by minute, the Marines actions.
Yah reminds me of a hijacking that happened in our country where the media reported what was happening outside and it so happened that there was a television inside the transport so the hijacker could see what was going on 🤷🏼♀️ Failure of media
I’m mean strategy’s could have changed since 1977
@@patronus9005 was that the thing where they also revealed the sniper positions?
@@doomcat2633 no. It was something that happened years ago. There were no sniper involved. This former soldier hijacked a bus full of tourists. The media went and broadcasted what was happening realtime. And they showed the scene where the police arrested the hijackers brother so this hijacker, upon seeing it on the television, got mad and started killing everyone in the bus 🤷🏼♀️
@@patronus9005 Ohh I know that but I'm sure there were snipers(based on the documentary I've watched) but incase, to know we are talking about the same thing is it the Quirino grandstand hostage taking?
The children got sick out of fear and adrenaline
I'm glad the children were saved

Some arent even screaming, their like about to laugh lmao
Don't worry I laughed at the Jeep driving through the wall at 0:27
Well. Those children youre seeing are just actors, this is a reenactment. So they wont act like the ones who really went through this
Very good documentary!
Lots of Tactics to be learned! Thanks for the upload!
Great accomplishment! Still a bigger fan of Israeli commandos raid on Entebbe but this was certainly impressive too
Very - very interesting video! I salute to rescue team for their amazing work, effort and devotion. Bravo!
Amazing 💥👍 Wow, that was truly a “double siege.” The elite few, yes indeed. Shout out to the Dutch Marine at the end that basically said Idgaf if you’re a territorst, I just better not get my orders
Why the children were so much ill ? Its because of the stress, when you have so much stress, you just do things. I cry, someone is angry, someone is vomiting and someone just passes out.
British citizen here. I never heard anything happened in Holland. Oh BBC. ...i was just 4 years old in 1977.
It was smart of them to make the children sick. Eym positive they put something in the food to only make them nauseous. However, they will never be reveal that tactic. Eym glad it worked without seriously hurting the children. It may have saved their lives. Or that's the worst case of nerves.
I liked how police officers were still there when the military clearly outclassed them
ye but the more the merrier
Man!
That stuff was crazy!
But the fire team was awesome!
Marine team, BRAVO!
Wacko is how NOT to handle a crisis Like this, and these Royal Marines is how to ACTUALLY-handle a hostage crisis.
Excellent documentary, i love how they use their real languages.
The lady is savage how many people have he roasted in this video the most savage one is when he called a passenger dumb because he/she ran in the line of fire
After having several different different thoughts on rescue, two lives lost ! No fault of the Marines! & two only injury's! I was ready too give them the plain! But I now see that could have been wears, involving more resources, different angences, an airline, a different country, "O" 😢 Dutch You Did A Master Class On This One ! O Thank You ☀️🎖️✊
Could have been the simple overwhelming stress that made the children sick.

One of the Most Successful Negotiations and Marine Assaults Strategy against Terrorists in the World by The Royal Netherlands Marine.
The terrorist has good heart to release the innocent children without meeting up with their demands. I give them respect my respect for that.
Is someone not going to mention that the mediator kinda played a part on how this event have ended? Why would they show the letter to the terrorist without letting the military or idk-what-that-group-is-called know? Like, they were close to getting there without having to shed blood from either side (the terrorist group is probably feeling hopeless by then) but then that letter gave them hope and strengthen their diminishing resolve. Like if you're going to be a mediator, or negotiator, do it right 🤦🏼♀️ it's life and death.
Let's agree Mr sozi this is the story of the year
Awesome work by those marines
A masterpiece of The Special Force Marine..bravo
I think children sickness was a strategic move by the negotiators
If it was, it was effective.
I think it was the placebo effect
Excellent work dudes!!
The Royal Duch Marines would have done with a stick this week before.
The Royal Netherlands Marine Corps has a proud history and are since 1665 one of oldest and best trained marines in the world.

Since you obviously slept through history classes you might Google New Amsterdam.... Just because you are unaware of the Netherlands doesn't mean no one has.
@@CeerCol hey I like their liquor
Even nursery kids in Africa where I come from knows about the existence of Netherlands lol
@@JohnnyBarlag I think he's talking about the Moluks
A rescue device should be invented. In my short story, i invented a gas grenade that puts individuals to sleep, giving ample time for the rescue team to penetrate the hostage area with gas masks. The gas penetrates small crevices so that there is no need to throw the grenade inside the hostage area. If there is no way to place the grenade outside the hostage area, it must be fired throw a window. There are also more devices that must be invented suited for a particular situation. A robot or two desguised as mediator is also an idea. Miniature drones are also effective
You have to give the marines and police credit on how well they preformed. And their response times were excellent.
46:50.. All r safe?? What about the lady hostage who was was killed ..? Y didn't they mention that.?
If you listened well they mentioned her 🙄🙄
Ik weet de kaapingen nog wel vooral de eerste met de trijn.Blessings from Canada this is resistance VLR.
14 days????? OMG!!!!
Cannot imagine the anguish that would have resulted from a loved one being in that situation for that long.
The Moluccans failed to respect the country which open their heart to help them when they in needs. That is not the way of human being
They fought for the Dutch and promised their own independence, but after the war, nobody wanted them...

It happens that way all over the world. No country should ever be so kind as to take foreigners in.
