Default French Lorry Crash Possibly worse!

Just coming through, something extremely serious taking place in France right now, all over the 24 hour news channels.

Utterly sub human.

On our national day, of all possible days...
At least 30 dead according to the latest reports. Not yet officially confirmed as a terrorist attack, but seems very likely.
Devastated...

Little gets. They'll turn anything into a weapon of murder nowadays. Just puts the trivial things into perspective a bit.

My pal and his family travelled to Nice this afternoon, just heard that they are all OK. Seemingly they have been told to stay in the hotel

Thanks mate, your words are more than adequate

The death toll has now risen to 60 dead officially. The irony of it all, if I may use such a word, is that the UEFA Euro had just been over and that we were so proud it had happened without any incident. Our president, being interviewed today for Bastille Day, reported that our state of emergency would end, as planned, on July 26th. But there is no rest for terrorist scum...
