She, her husband Freddy and the neighbors in Enschede escaped a disaster in the night from Friday to Saturday, for which their addicted son had been responsible. The police have arrested him, he is suspected of arson. His parents are considering filing a complaint. “Maybe it will help him.”
The smoke detector is glued to the ceiling. The walls are pitch black, the heating knobs are gone, the window frames are melted. Freddy Hendriks (68) shakes his head. How hot must it have been last night in that bedroom? How wrong would this have ended if the fire brigade hadn’t arrived so quickly? What if the fire had reached the rest of the house? Because those three large oxygen bottles in the hallway, belonging to his wife Petra, who suffers from COPD, have 200 bar on them, he knows. Those are bombs.
