00:16screenshot
00:18of the invitation for this dinner was allowed in, which was something I found quite strange.
00:25And then the only obstacle between the general hotel facility and the ballroom were some metal detectors.

00:39So this was something that really surprised me.
00:42It was the first time that Donald Trump in his role as the US president attended this event.
00:48And it was only a few minutes after he arrived when suddenly chaos erupted.
00:54People were on the floor. They were hiding under the tables.
01:00Some people were saying shooting. The president was evacuated.
01:05And after a couple of minutes, people were standing up again and nobody really knew what was going on.

01:21Let's see.
