For those who don’t know how this works: On the top of the iceberg, there are facts that everyone knows and the deeper we go, the obscurer and lesser known these become. This can be about history, culture, places or anything else that has to do with Belgium.

EDIT: Please also say where on the iceberg I should put everything. Thank you!

    Tis cara trut

    Baekeliet

  5. I have two for the bottom:

    – murder of Julien Lahaut, Brabant Killers, and CCC being different sides of a Gladio/CIA operation
    – Regina Louf/X1 testimony being actually true

  6. ILoveBigCoffeeCups on

    Bende van nijvel, Abu Jahjah hezobolah, Verhofstadt verkoop van België, Vandenbroucke geld verbrand, Dutroux…. Kan zo doorgaan.

  7. It’s not “The King of Belgium” but “The King of the Belgians”

    We have laws that dictates what is mayonaise and what’s not

  8. So many people who don’t understand the assignment here. It’s doesn’t need to be just history, culture, places,… It needs to be *facts about* those things and the more those facts are known, the higher they go up on the iceberg.

  9. De dierentuin van Gent. Toen deze in 1905 gesloten werd, hebben ze de bruine beren gedood door ophanging en opgegeten. Van het vlees van een van de olifanten uit deze dierentuin heeft een Nederlandse slager nog worsten gedraaid.

  10. Scheepslift , Oostkantons, baarle hertog , Steve steverts , Vlaams blok, vastgoed vennootschappen en btw, augustus, frank vandebroek, …

  11. De ramp van Godsheide 1941, is very well known locally but not sure about the rest of the country

    Probably near the bottom since usually very dark subjects tend to be near the bottom anyways

  12. Sven Pichal schandaal ergens in de monsterlijke dieptes en man met de kleine garage ergens net onder water

  13. There was a Black Swan in Bruges like a decade ago.
    Its not really important, but I’d like to put it in the iceberg, like in the middle I guess. Not everything has to be dark down there.

  14. JesusTheSecond_ on

    The proton debit card. It’s fairly obscure since it was a belgian thing only and had quite a short life.

  15. Mark Peeters theory of spaceflight somewhere in the middle

    Neutral Moresnet a bit higher

  16. In 1989 a young man in Bellegem was killed by an unmanned soviet Mig-23 crashing into his house after the pilot ejected shortly after takeoff in Poland.
