FRANCE - Truck drives into crowd celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, 2016 *Guilty*

[gregjrichards]

The frightening thing is this attack could happen in any country all it would take is a terrorist to get HGV truck license and start driving a truck and using it as a weapon.

Fox News now saying possibly 73 dead.

Fire in a fireworks truck, technical issue, probably smoke from other fireworks too. I closed where I read that but I'll keep an eye out for a source.

France is a very open tolerant country.

Most of Western Europe is open/tolerant.That is what Europe is.

France is a very open tolerant country.

Might be time for change.

It might just be smoke from the fireworks a short while ago.

I'm not seeing any coverage of this...I hope it's a false alarm. Are you finding anything more about the Eiffel Tower?

Edited to add the word "not." Little words do make a difference.

4 mins | Death toll from Nice attack rises to at least 73

The death toll from the attack in Nice has risen to at least 73, police have told i-Tele. The French newspaper Le Figaro had earlier cited a police source that also put the death toll at 73, but i-Tele reports that it received confirmation of the figure. An interior ministry spokesman would only say the death toll is "extremely heavy"

BREAKING VIDEO: German citizen broadcasting the start of the attack as truck starts to pick up his speed

Guns and grenades found in the truck - Sky News live. Premeditated terror attack.

The death toll is going to keep rising I'm sure. This is horrific. I'm sick, SICK of it! :stormingmad:

Oh no.......Why is France getting targeted so frequently?? Seems like they are getting way more than their (unfair) share, much more than other European countries.

France (Paris) has a large muslim population with some being radicalized in Syria and returned.Same as in Belgium.Also muslim refugees coming up from Northern Africa into Spain and France,trying to reach the UK.

The German reporter who filmed the truck picking up speed is Richard Gutjahr @gutjahr (verified account)


Reports about the attack in his TL, in German.

The moment a terrorist attack happens before your very eyes. And no, no Periscope Livestream now

Police have identified the driver, who was killed during the incident, and it is believed to have been a man who was known to security services. Separate reports emerged tonight that police fear four different trucks are involved, raising fears of a massive organised terror attack.
