At Erkelenz, not far from the German border near Roermond, two ultralight aircraft collided Saturday afternoon. As a result, one of the pilots, a 70-year-old man, was killed. The other pilot, a 60-year-old man, was seriously injured and was taken to the hospital.
Also on Saturday, protesters in Germany, just across the border with Limburg, have taken action against lignite stations. A group of hundreds of activists has been active for a few days. A few hundred Dutch have also joined. A spokesman says that the goal for Sunday has been reached: blocking a railway line at a lignite plant.
