499: Trainwreck: The Real Project X

From True Crime Obsessed True Crime Obsessed

Merthe just wanted to throw herself a small "Sweet Sixteen" birthday party at her house, so she made an event on Facebook and invited her closest friends. What could go wrong? Well... she left her event marked "Public," and as details of the party spread, what was supposed to be a private party turned into a municipal crisis as thousands of party-goers threatened to descend on the party. Will the festivities turn into a riot? Will the Dutch town of Haren be overtaken by the revelers? And will the Night Mayor and the Day Mayor of the town ever agree on how to handle the situation?!?!?!
