A group of students from Dr Aletta Jacobs College in Hoogezand, Netherlands, have gone viral after being caught in a massive wave generated during the launch of a cargo ship.

The incident occurred along the Winschoterdiep canal in Foxhol, where several students had gathered near the water’s edge to watch the vessel launch up close.

Video footage shared online showed the pupils scrambling for safety as a powerful wave surged toward the bank moments after the ship entered the water.

Some of the students were knocked off their feet by the force of the water, while others attempted to run away as the wave swept across the area.

Ironically, before the launch, one student could reportedly be heard saying:

“There won’t even be any water, man.”

Moments later, the spectators found themselves drenched as the wave crashed onto the shore.

Although no serious injuries were reported, some students suffered minor mishaps. Reports indicated that several mobile phones were damaged, while one student sustained a bruised ankle.

One of the students seen in the viral footage, 13-year-old Devin, joked about the experience the following day.

“Luckily I’ve dried off a bit now,” he said.

Mohamed, 15, who had chosen to stand farther away from the canal, watched the scene unfold from a safer location.

“I couldn’t stop laughing for five minutes, I almost had stomach ache,” he said.

Another student, 13-year-old Charomy, recalled trying to escape as the wave approached.

“When I saw the water coming, I wanted to run, but I kind of fell. And then it was already too late,” he said.

He added:

“People came up to us asking if we were okay, that was really kind.”

Charomy also described the water as “really dirty” after being soaked by the unexpected surge.

FIFA has responded to concerns after empty seats were spotted in sections of stadiums during the opening matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Reports indicated that ticket prices for this year’s tournament started from around $140 for matches involving the 48 participating nations.

Meanwhile, tickets for the World Cup final in New Jersey reportedly began at a staggering $8,680 for standard seating, making it one of the most expensive sporting events to attend.

Following the reactions, FIFA released an official statement explaining that attendance figures are not determined by visual assessments of occupied seats.

The statement read:

“Official attendance figures reflect the number of tickets scanned and spectators present within the stadium footprint, rather than visual assessments of seating occupancy at any given moment during the match.

“FIFA works closely with stadium authorities and ticketing teams to ensure all published figures are based on verified operational data.

“Please note that, during last night’s match in Guadalajara, several ticketed fans could be seen standing in concourses rather than staying in their assigned seats throughout the match.”

To support its explanation, FIFA also released an image showing a largely filled stadium during one of the matches.

Popular South African media personality and actress Pearl Thusi has opened up about why she has no desire to get married, revealing that painful childhood experiences continue to influence her views on marriage.

Speaking during an interview with The Motherhood Network on YouTube, Pearl explained that growing up in a home where her mother allegedly suffered abuse left a lasting impact on her perception of relationships.

According to her, she spent many years associating marriage with pain and suffering because of what she witnessed between her parents.

She said:

“I run away from marriage like a lot, because for a long time I believed that my mom kind of died because she was married.

“My father was abusive to my mother…….Whether it was infidelity, or her being in a car with him in the middle of the night because he thought she was up to something, he would take her to the middle of the bush and point a gun at her.”
