Before watching this video, and looking into the tunnel name, I thought: "Who the f*** named this tunnel like this?" But, watching the scenes shown at 1:32, 2:59 & 4:37, I thought: *"Oh, OK, it's like the person who named the tunnel represented the motto of the local driving mood"*
Yes, these are people celebrating something. Somthing to do with football(soccer) or just an islamic wedding. Or just some Turkish people who found a football in the streets! 🤣
The tunnel is as impressive as the reason why they took that name for it. Wow, I'm not an art guy, but it is a wonderful fact that The Hague named their tunnel after a piece of art.
There's got to be a good story as to why they named the tunnel, "Victory Boogie Woogie". It sounds like something they would have done in the late 1940s, even though Allied forces bypassed The Netherlands on their way to Germany.
They didn't, a third of the Dutch population was liberated in 1944. Remember Market Garden? The 'art coefficient' from this tunnel was probably used to buy 'Victory Boogie Woogie' for the municipal museum.
Piet Mondriaan was a Dutch painter. Quite a lot of his works including this one can be seen in het Kunstmuseum Den Haag. If you want to know more about the Netherlands & WW2: A bridge too far(1977) The forgotten battle(netflix 2020) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kd1CGQ36tTU.html
As interesting as the tunnel is, as are those many cars with hazard lights on and those at 2:56 accepting the gray car skip in front of them because he decided turning left here was good.
No those are definitely hazard lights. That was a Moroccan wedding. They usually drive through the city honking and driving like maniacs. Lots of them are fined luckily
I'm not sure about what the rules are in the Netherlands, but in the United States, you have to have a red flag on an object that extends four feet (about one meter) beyond your rear bumper. That is what it looks like here.
Likely due to a football match. Football fans (both club and national teams) often drive around town waving flags on the eve of a big match. It can get them into trouble if they are visiting fans and they encroach on some of the local ultras' turf.
