{{anchor|Diamond heist}}On 25 February 2005, a diamond robbery occurred at Schiphol's cargo terminal. The robbers used a stolen KLM van to gain [[Airside (airport)|airside]] access. The estimated value of the stones was around 75 million [[euro]]s, making it one of the largest diamond robberies ever.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/feb/26/ukcrime.uk|title=Up to £52m in gems stolen in airport raid|author=Rosie Cowan|work=the Guardian|accessdate=26 December 2014}}</ref>
Later in 2005, a fire broke out at the airport's detention centre, killing 11 people and injuring 15. The complex was holding 350 people at the time of the incident. Results from the investigation almost one year later showed that fire safety precautions were not in force. A national outrage resulted in the resignation of Justice Minister [[Piet Hein Donner]] (CDA) and Mayor Hartog of Haarlemmermeer. Spatial Planning Minister [[Sybilla Dekker]] (VVD) resigned as well, because she bore responsibility for the construction, safety, and maintenance of state-owned buildings.<ref name="NYT Schiphol 2005 fire">{{
