Complex fire in Nieuwegein congress center under control only well

“Everything we have built in thirty years has burned down in twelve hours,” says Justin van Hooijdonk. According to him, it will be a ‘challenging race’ to be operational again in a year. “We have lost a lot of irreplaceable materials,” he told RTV Utrecht. “But I’m always positive. If anyone can make it happen, it’s us. We keep going.”
