most people that use fireworks use it in the way it's designed to be used, lighting it and shooting it into the sky.
but you have that small group of people that doesn't care for anyone else's property and just destroys whatever they feel like destroying.
those people are here all year around (like everywhere else in the world), but the fireworks just give their bad impulses that little extra kick.
only the people that do this think it's ok, no one wants their property damaged, people feeling unsafe, or just taxes going up because the damages have to be paid for.
but the tradition of normal civilians being able to purchase and use fireworks (on the few hours a year, it's not even a full day) is something great (i think).
with those national shows so much people are left out of experiencing it themselves. even if you have one of those shows in your own city, not every citizen is able to be there and have a place to see the full show in all its glory.
but with the Dutch way you have these "small unofficial shows" all throughout the city, no matter where you are you're able to enjoy the fireworks.
and it's a way of socializing for a lot of people, neighbourhoods come together, take turns in shooting up their haul of fireworks, and just have a nice evening of explosions and alcohol. it's the perfect way of saying goodbye to the year and celebrate making it to the next.
One thing to point out is that the extreme explosions you see in this video, are done with fireworks that are not legal in The Netherlands. You can't walk into a shop and just get something that blows up trees. The problem here is that Europe is not one country. It's made up of several countries that have both their own laws and laws on a European level. So some companies in countries like Italy and Poland for instance, produce heavy fireworks meant for professional shows. That is completely legal. However, criminal organizations are able to get their hands on those "fireworks" and then transport them to other countries over criminal routes that are already there for transporting drugs and other things. Those "fireworks" are then illegaly sold to individual customers in those countries. So don't think that a 13 year old boy can walk into a shop and get something that levels a tree in his backyard.
There have been talks about a national firework ban, but that is pointless because the biggest cause of the problem is already illegal.
In the mean time, those criminal organizations have realized that the specific type of "firework" is also very useful for something else: bomb attacks. There has been an increase in bomb atttacks in The Netherlands in recent years. Some of these professional "fireworks" have the same eplosive energy as hand granades. They combine those with some flammable materials like gasoline and then you get the big booms. Useful for blowing up doors, store fronts and ATMs. It used to be all fun and games but it's slowly turning serious....
You clearly never visited us in the countryside down South or East :) Bombs everywhere and almost zero criminals. Just fun, solidarity and party-time (we don't destroy trees though, those toddlers are just morons)
In this video, you see all the extreme situations right after each other. So it looks like a war zone. And although this happens, it does not happen at the same place. Every year I enjoy the fireworks, and it is beautiful, and I am never in danger. The mailboxes are usually closed, so it is impossible to blow them up, and the same goes for the public garbage bins. There is always police present. This is not a bad tradition. It is moderate in most places. I can use this metaphor: If you make a video about people getting drunk and wasted on a certain day, this can be true, but does not mean that everybody gets drunk and wasted. Most people are moderate. Also in the Netherlands. So do not worry.
Dutch urban people are not always the brightest.
Urban people? You mean to say that the farm kids ARE bright? You have never seen the stupid stunts they pull off in places like driehuizen, staverden or gatindedijk? Kids are stupid, regardless if they live in a city or in a tiny village.
I'm a 50+ woman, NYE is my time to celebrate with at least 30 guests and kilo's fireworks 🎉😂
12:34 | German viewer here, there already are different types of firework categories out there. For young and adult.
I live close to a local square and every NYE one bar organizes a fireworks show that is always beautiful to watch. A lot of people go to Germany to buy fireworks since it can be bought year round there. That's where the illegal and 'bomb' like fireworks come from that are banned in the Netherlands (for a good reason). I have no problems with the legal version of fireworks but the illegal shit causes a lot of damage.
Fireworks in Germany are sold the same time as in the Netherlands, 29 30 and 31 of december. Belgium has Year around fireworks, but not as powerfull as they were. Most powerfull fireworks these days come from Poland and Tjecho. People buy in Germany because of the price, much cheaper. But "Bomb "like fireworks are not for sale in Germany ;)
I like normal and safe firework.. Destroy stuff i dont like at all!
Most of this stuff IS highly illegal. But people are still calling to forbid the illegal fireworks (which is as pointless as passing a law for all liquid water to be wet). But in surrounding countries a lot of fireworks are available over the counter. In the Netherlands the amount of gunpowder is restricted and since a few years anything that says boom is banned.
For me it's not about just a day, maybe 2. It's every weekend at nights, for months in advance. Our dogs are afraid to walk in September. Myself, I enjoy a BOOM on Old/Newyears Day. But it's just too crazy, too early. People build b0mbs in their garages, and try them on a Saturday night. The windows shake sometimes.
Also, January 1st, kids go outside search for unexpl0ded fireworks. Leading to the next issue.
The part at 3:16 when they show the ¨the dutch cetebrate with 1000 less majestic shows¨ is actually footage from a police helicopter in Amsterdam during the corona full ban on fireworks. Normally it would be much much more. The sidemen channel have a video where they get on a crane at nye in Amsterdam, that shows it much better.
On New Year's Eve someone lost both their eyes due to fireworks. It blew up in his face almost immediately. The man is 31 and has a young family with 2 children.
well did he wear safty glasses?
@@ricardoebbers5154 no Unfortunately not
I remember in 2020 they put a ban on regular fireworks, never seen so much fireworks going up in the sky that night, in my neighborhood, it was awesome😂
Interesting about the Dutch word "oorlog" is dat it's not "krijg" which would be direct equivalent from war, guerre, Krieg, guerro etc. Our word for war comes from fate, destiny, and broken order. So apparently that reflects the attitude towards war.
Anyway, it is of course ridiculous but I did enjoy it as a kid. Yes, it was a little dangerous but you were with your friends roaming the streets a bit mischeavous, participating and judging and handling the risks. The idea that that could be replaced by government organized firework shows is ridiculous too. It's about doing, not about watching responsible certified adults do.
Trouble is that it maybe has gone to far and you can't tone it down to acceptable levels again. The Djinn is out of the bottle and like firearms in the US, it will be fought as a kind of "freedom".
Even as a dutchy, i never like fireworks, it just feels like a huge waste of money, and danger special with the illigal fireworks people get, as a kid/teen i got hit by the wooden rod attacked to a firework rocket falling from the sky lol, shits... Not great, so much of it is fired off that it blots out the sky, only the colorful stuff is somewhat enjoyable for 5 minutes, but people go so fucking wild wit hthat shit, sometimes even through the year (saving it and using it later)
Fireworks are fun, I lit them when I was 8 and now I'm 40 and I still do them. We occasionally get into mischief, blowing a turd, or some other things. We also really made bombs. little ones. but we never blew anything up with that. It's fun but times change. heavy fireworks and then in combination with flammable liquid. heavy fireworks are also illegal in the Netherlands. it's an old video and fireworks are almost banned. Because now there is rioting too often, and unfortunately also on emergency workers. Like I said, fireworks are fun. But handle it respectfully. For yourself and for bystanders. good luck with your channel!!
if you think that is crazy (and don't get me wrong the explosive power fireworks that are considered illegal is crazy nowadays) you might want to watch a video of the more rural new years tradition we have called Carbidschieten. where farmers drill a hole in the bottem of an old milk cannister trow in some calcium carbide and water and put the lid back on, wait some time for the gasses to farm and hold a fire source next to the before mentioned hole they drilled. it's basically shooting a canon without gunpowder.
Its a tradition like there alot of 'bad' traditions.. only like a 100 people a year get injured but thats mostly with illigal fireworks and not know how to handle the fireworks or experiment with them.
Its a little dangerous but alot of fun and brings people together.
No, it does not get worse. In some places, it is every year the same and in the bigger cities there are every year more restrictions, to make sure it does not get out of hand. Although this video is correct, it is not at every place that bad. Where I live, there were beautiful, no too dangerous, fireworks on New Year's Eve.
The most firework that you saw is illegal in the Netherlands and came from countries like Poland,Germany and Belgium. The things that are demolished with illegal fireworks are a small group that ruined the tradition for the other inhabitants
Every year I hide myself in my house from 30 december till the 1 of januari. Your description of the feeling of The Purge is right. I hate it am so scared. One year I locked myself in the bathroom from 24.00 till 2.00 out of fear. I hate it. The country is torn in 2: ban or no ban of fireworks. It costs so much money because of the police, hospitals and firebrigade. I wish that there were contained places like some fields were you can use your fireworks and no fireworks in the streets. But I am afraid there is no inbetween here
The government should make agreements with Poland and Belgium to ban it. The dangerous fireworks come from those countries and are sold all year round. BTW my dog has no problem with fireworks.
The real dangerous fireworks are not sold in those countries legally either. Criminal organizations supply those throughout Europe.
And most insanely is that you can't buy those fireworks in the Netherlands, cause it's forbidden. We get those fireworks in Poland and Belgium.
My last two dogs didn't care about fireworks. One was even big enough to come stand next to my son in the open window and watch the show. Before that I had a dog that was a bit scared, we used to give him a pint of beer at eleven so just an hour before midnight and after a short walk he would fall asleep in front of the fireplace to wake up like 5 hours later when 90% of the noise had stopped..
Even watching can be dangerous! My football coach was watching up at the 'pijlen' which have a wooden part that comes back down to earth, straight into his eye. Even as a kid ive had multiple shot directly at me bc they fell over, when they were put down by responsible adults. Have fun, but do it with respect and consideration.
ooo yes butterfly effect, damn I remember seeing that and being beyond obsessed with it for a few months lol. I think some concepts in that movie are a thing in my dreams (where I can sometimes ''reset'' or ''rewrite'' a situation, but then the new dream/situation will always be slightly altered, often getting worse instead of fixing a situation).
Btw your Dutch pronounciations are great, you're really talented at the sounds :)
Thank you! I try to remember what sounds go where
and yeah, remember the butterfly effect firework scene? There's an interesting compilation on youtube called "butterfly effect - explosion sound effect" which is a good refresher of that scene.
Your pronounciation of "oorlog" was spot on!
We grow up with this every year sins small getting excited after Christmas to start buying
I celebrated the new year in the Netherlands.. luckily, it was normal.. i didn't see anything scary.. We dont hate you.. 😊
Can not wait 🤗 i celebrate my birthday when fire work starts (1-1)😊
This video is explosive 😂
Thanks! Don't forget to like and turn on notification for the video, it really helps the channel 😊
@@DACHBenelux notification are already on😇
I like your reactions,and your humor 😁
@elvirazandee8530 thank you! I have fun on this channel, 😂 these videos are unique
The normal fire works are crazy, but these are extreme. This is not tradition!!! No we are not cool with the extreme, and yes the dogs, outdoor cats and other animals.😢 people need to medicate there dogs, indoor cats to keep them calm and not fearful. And only 1 day a year is also not the case it even starts weeks before. Police say by the time we arrive they will be gone. I would be okay when it isn't allowed anymore, but i also know there are a lot of well intentioned people who just want to have some fun so it would be sad for them. One big beautiful organized show would be nice, where i live so many people come together in one place that it becomes foggy from the smoke, nothing beautiful about that,besides the smell.😅
Beachfires The Hague are the best
Especially the one in 2018/19.
😁😉
I think there should be more regulation.
-Like limit the sales to 31 december only instead on 29, 30, 31 December.
-There are firework free zones but they should more and also wider and should be more policed.
-Make firework sales to 18+ and a ban on firecrackers.
-And animal shelters in firework free zones for people to bring their pet if they want to.
Thing should be safer if people follow the rules that they repeat each year.
-Don't wear clothing that caught easily on fire easy like cotton or nylon.
-Don't wear clothing that can catch firework like hoodies, wide pockets or wide boots.
-Don't use open fire to ignite fireworks. Instead use a lighter wick (aansteeklont) or a cigarette if you smoke.
-ALWAYS wear protection glazes, you get it for free when buying fireworks so use it.
-Don't check if fireworks don't go off. Some have a secondary fuse just incase, but wait like 2 minutes first.
- Keep a safe distance and ignite it in a clear open area. Like in the middle of the road, away of any parked cars.
As the dutch saying goes: Een ongeluk ligt in een klein hoekje (A accident lies in a small corner)
So always protect yourself and stay save.
Sir, I have a video suggestion for you that might be less useful for your channel but as you are a teacher, might be interesting to watch for yourself or even use in your classroom (I don't know what ages you teach, or what classes), It is called "I filmed plants for 15 years | TimeLapse Compilation" (channel is called Boxlaps) and shows a timelapse of the growcycle of all sorts of plants. from pea to potato to pepper to pinetree. (and plants starting with other letters as well :P)
Of course I recommend that video to everyone else as well. Not my work, not affiliated with the channel. Just something I came across
I'm an English Teacher (ESL), mostly for adults who need to pass the IELTS exam to come live in London
Here you see the extreem situations. Situations I dont get either. We have certain hours we can use the fireworks. (mostly between 6 pm on the 31st and till 2am on the 1st of January, if I am correct.) People have a hard time obeying the rules apparently. We have the timeslot because of the pets. Unfortunately its also the busiest time on the ER because of this extreem situations.
Most people use their fireworks the way it should be handled, so I'm fiercely against a nation wide ban. Social media has changed things, back in the 90ties we often went to school yards or other reclusive places leading up to the big night. Of course property damaged also happened back than but a lot less, and targeting animals was out of the question to. Those who did targeted animals or were bragging about it got their asses whooped and of course reported to the police. Hearing the stories from my own kids today, is that targeting animals is still considered to be not ok. And youngsters will take action on it, but sadly you always will have psycho's who do. As for our own pets, we always lock them up around 11.50 pm at the 31st, in a well lit room with a tv,, so they don' t see/hear a lot of the explosions between midnight and 2 am (though in the past it went on all night). And a week before the 31st till the second, we only let our dog and cats outside in the back yard.

Heyy teacher paul if you wanna know anything about the Dutch let me know where i life there is the biggest bomfire with new year . Take al look add Duindorp new year bomfire . And offcorse it is not good when People and animals get Hurt with firework .
What do i think.. well. Hard to ban fireworks if they sell it legally 20 kilometers away from here.
We have not big fireworks this fireworks is not legaly sale is our country.
In 2000 there was a big disaster, there was a firework storage was blow up, you can Watch Enschede vuurwerkramp
that's why the 13 year old boys are extra dangerious...firtst they do, and later think about what they are doing..some cities already have vorbidden fireworks...more will follow... most extreme firework you see are illegal, mostly sold in the surrounding countries..smuggled over the border and there they go..
Adult supervision? lol. You gotta lot to learn about the Dutch.
You can't convince me the Dutch don't supervise their children, it's just a common responsibility
@@DACHBeneluxthey do it's just on new years eve the adults can be just a childish as the kids
Thats true haha my father in the past hate fire works but 00:00 he was the craziest haha@@lexroet1215
Happiest kids in the world.
i think that it should be availeble all year round.
when it is legal that means that it becomes more normal and the extreme parts heardly occure anymore.
just as the soft drugs in the netherlands are tollerated, that leads to less users and less drug addicts in general.
on average there are less drug users per capita than in countries were it is illegal.
the same goes for fireworkt when they are allowed year round
The Netherlands is not as nice as you think.
That is true on many levels... foreigners have a very romanticized view of the Netherlands.
Much of the big explosions are highly iligal here. Ive they got caught the punishment is just a joke.
Every year my hate for fireworks grow more and more. It is time people think about what they are doing because i always loved fireworks.
Dear friend. We are suppred all the time and in so many ways p eople need this.
I LOVE IT but now you have to get your fireworks from poland or tsheg republic, the fireworks here suck now
Man New year used to be the most awesome day in the year for me. Dutch guy here. I used to fill in fireworks forms a month ahead to everything I could get. Yes it can be a little dangerous but come on man. A bag of firecrackers. Don't take this amazingly cool thing away from the kids. Live a little.
That's what I'm afraid of, the kids living a little 💀
Leave it to the professionals... Now substitute the word fireworks for guns... Yeah that is the discussion here.... Difference is here it is one/a few days a year with far less death and wounded.
4:34 Gillende keuken meiden..😂 screaming kitchen girls/womans
I hate it! All that spilled money! And all the animals , scared a long time.
There is a level of fireworks like you said. Most af the really hard bangs are forbidden in the Netherlands. But people get it from other countries in the EU and sell in on the black marker here
It's okay if you know how to handle it and donderdag break anything. It's a small group that is destroying our tradition by not knowing or caring how to handle the fireworks. And a ban won't work now
Because of black market or they have to ban in in the entire of Europe sins we don't have border controls anymore between countries.
it's important to know the insane explosions are illegal fireworks, usually from belgium, germany or poland. the solution to getting rid off firework injuries is to be stricter with checking that, not making consumer fireworks even more expensive
We are a crazy kind of bunch, are we..
For all your viewers, would you please watch your reaction to the videos first, watch the video and then give your reaction or opinion without stopping every 10 seconds, it personally drives me a bit crazy
I also enjoy watching your vlogs, they are very nice
WARE
Wajoo is not a Dutch word 😂
The 13yo Dutch boys sure use it much tho😅
We shouldnt drive cars, leave that to the professionals. Especially when you still a teenager like 16 years.
"Is it safe?"
NO! Of course not.
Safe wouldn't be fun.
The chance of loosing a couple of fingers right before your piano lessons is fun!
People protect it as if it is some kind of important religious centuries old tradition, although it's only here since the fiftties or sixties of last century.
It ain't safe at all, and it's hell for all animals, both domestic and wild. People lose limbs, eyes, and lives, and even children for this. We once even lost half a city for this tradition. It is pure insanity. It's not cool at all!!!
Oke , we cancel the fireworks !! but wil the americans cancel there guns aswell ??
Oke, the Americans cancel their guns. But will Israel stop bombing Gaza as well?? Will the Russians stop bombing Ukraine?? What is that for stupid argument? Should we allow murder and blackmail because in South America murders and blackmail are a daily occurrance on a massive scale?
You jes you❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
The Butterfly effect?. I know the movie
remember that fireworks scene?
@@DACHBenelux it's more than a decade ago. I saw that movie. I remember prison and blood noses. And the memory writing. Moment
@@DACHBenelux I will check the fireworks scene
@DACHBenelux when they where young.
@@DACHBenelux and she loses her legs
you don't need to be a profesional, just use it how its suposed to
You basically watched the same people that participate in every single riot for no reason. Check out 'carbit schieten' at Dec 31. It can be brutal, but harmless (accidents can happen tho).
Well, we do have quite some wierd traditions. Some of which a lot of Dutch do not approve of (any more). Like the Zwarte Piet debate we also have this discussion to ban fireworks for public use. We also have shows like on Erasmusbrug in Rotterdam and many people would prefer to celebrate in that same fashion.
There are more survival guides to the Dutch. It may be wise to review them as well. It may make the world a better place. ;)
A lot of Dutch? Oh really, and you base this on a small number of protesters each year of little more than 50 people? mostly its not even 50😂zwarte piet is not a tradition. Saint Nicolaas is (Sinterklaas)! People in the Netherlands have been putting their shoes in churches dating back to the 1500s
There is absolutely nothing with Zwarte Piet. Only a handful of loud woke racists have a problem with it.
Saw the hole video the comment is for everybody Who hate our tradition . Not for you .
By the way oorlog mens war 😊
oh, okay, I thought you were talking to me directly
Lot of people talk about it and in a few years its gone.
By the way all the dogs wenn the owner likes fireworks the dog gets all so happy.
But if an owner is startled by fireworks the the dogs go grazy
I can walk my dog on new years eve just like any other evening.
She just looks up every now and then, that's it.
She ain't scared because I did the right thing on her first new years eve.
Giving her a safe feeling being around fireworks.
It's all about your own energy when it comes to dogs.
I love fireworks, but this way is not funny anymore...
You don't understand our culture, I haven't seen anything in this video that is not seen as normal in the Netherlands
You can't convince me that your culture is to blow up public property and arsenic, fireworks is normal but criminal activity isn't (supposed to be)
@@DACHBenelux Oh well, it's only once a year... You have to give the youth a bit of space on such a day
I hate firework. Poor animals.
Yo you talk too much, fine if you make a comment, but don't talk too much
what are you watching for? silence?
@@anahill2366 no no but you talk a You talk all fate
Je kijkt toch voor zijn reactie en mening?
@@BOBBO0117 Yes, that's true because I find it amusing, because of how people from abroad react here
Even if you don't write much here, every word you wrote is one word too many. As always, it's not about quantity, it's about quality.
Naah ... I'm a Schissbüx 😱🫣🙈🙉🙊
Don't shoot at me or blow up trash cans near me, I need my eyes ... 🤯
I'm glad that people are paying a bit more attention here - and it's illegal so it would be watched closely from the officials.
Nevertheless, many are still creative enough, whether they get their stuff from the Netherlands or from Poland 🧨😬
But I like the silent ones with the pretty colors very much 🎆🎇
-----
But now I'd like to know if you know the word "Schissbüx" 💩👖in Dutch or English too, or something similar 😅🤣
"Schiss|büx" (Schijtbroek/shit pants) is from our local German dialect at the NL border. It's someone who's pretty scared ... 😅
So "Schiss" means "💩" as well as "fear".
