It was recently announced that the historical Koningshaven bridge in Rotterdam, Netherlands will be dismantled in order to launch the super luxury yacht of Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people in the world, billionaire founder of Amazon, which will be the world’s largest yacht when its construction is completed. In the statement, it was stated that the 40-meter height of the bridge was too low for the masts of the huge 417-meter yacht worth 500 million dollars to pass through.
The news that the bridge, which was heavily damaged by the Nazi forces during World War II and was considered a national monument, would be dismantled, was met with a reaction by the Dutch people. Finally, the Dutch, who were angry that the bridge, which had undergone restoration in 2017 and was decided not to be dismantled again, was going to be dismantled, planned an ‘attack’ on Bezos’ yacht in order to show their reaction.
