317 passengers given on-the-spot visa
Dutch authorities have issued 317 visas to passengers who were stranded at Schiphol Amsterdam Airport.

This seems to be standard operating procedure: when an Indonesian friend of mine was stranded at AMS without a visa a few years ago (normal bad weather delay) he was issued a visa on the spot with minimal hassle and could spend the night at my place.
