Dutch Residents Plan To Throw Rotten Eggs At Jeff Bezos' Superyacht As Historic Bridge Dismantled

However, Bezos is bearing the price for the famous Koningshavenbrug bridge in Rotterdam, commonly known as De Hef, to be destroyed  (temporarily) to get the boat out.

Following the news, a Facebook event was created to organize a meeting where people could throw eggs at the yacht as it passed by during the summer.

Pablo Strörmann has organized the event, which will take place on June 1st.

It reads: "Take a box of (rotten) eggs with you and let's throw them en masse at Jeff's superyacht when it sails through De Hef in Rotterdam.”

"Rotterdam was built from the rubble by the people of Rotterdam, and we don't just take that apart for the phallus symbol of a megalomaniac billionaire. Not without a fight!"

At the time of writing, 1,500 people had opted to go, with another 5,800 'interested'.

The local council reportedly promised never to remove the landmark bridge again after it was rebuilt in 2017, but Bezos' big finances could help sway that decision.

Speaking to Rijnmond project leader Marcel Walravens explained: “This mainly concerns the passage of a ship with high masts through De Hef."

“At the Koninginnebrug we can press a button and it opens. That is not possible here, because De Hef has a maximum height. The only alternative is to take out the middle part.”

But Ton Wesselink of the local history society Historisch Genootschap Roterodamum disagreed, saying: “Jobs are important, but there are limits with what you can and should do with our industrial heritage.”

Apart from the fact that it will have 'three enormous masts and three decks,' there isn't much information about the yacht.

It's being created by custom yacht manufacturer Oceano and is thought to be based on the company's Black Pearl model, which is one of the world's largest and most ecologically friendly sailing yachts.
