Why says lightning never strikes the same place twice ?

The police have denied reports that a letter of confession has been found. A bomb has also not been found. The police are treating the case as a rampage and are not assuming that it was an accident. It is still not clear whether there is a terrorist background.

The correct word is Beeinträchtigungs schaden-

And here is a German page which explain what it is- The closest I came in English was disability damage.

I found this German homepage about
https://www.talentplus.de/in-beschae...ten/index.html

Made some more search for this word and found a similar German word for it Behinderung
In English = disability

So maybe they mean that this man who drove the car had a psychological handicap.

You fell in a trap there, Markus.

Dont take it so literally. The word is hilarious in German. Even our press mocks it. There is "Beinträchtigung" (see here: https://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsc...%C3%A4chtigung ), and there is "Schaden" (damage), but not both combined in one word, that is a linguistic contorsion.

The joke's on me.

Then I better understod why google asked me if I didn't mean Beeinträchtigungs schaden instead of Beinträchtigungsschaden

And I who made a lot of search--hehe for no reasons.

What is left to do about it... is....
