Hilversum today commemorates the victims of the MH17 disaster, nine years ago already. The village of Goois was hit hard by the disaster. Of the total of 298 victims, fifteen came from Hilversum. Their names will be read today.
Due to the enormous impact of the disaster, Hilversum has had its own MH17 monument for several years now. The fifteen sunflowers represent the fifteen victims. Next to it is a bench with the names of the victims on it.
The commemoration is every year at the monument. The commemoration can be seen live on NH from 11.25 am.
