Nightmare in Nice

At least 84 people are dead and dozens more injured in what Christian Estrosi, the former mayor of Nice, France, and current president of the Alpes-Maritimes region, has described as a "terrible attack" during a Bastille Day celebration on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice.

The attack took place late Thursday evening as a crowd had gathered to watch fireworks in celebration of the national holiday. The driver of a large truck drove on to the sidewalk and plowed through the crowd, continuing on a path of carnage for 1.1 miles. The Associated Press is quoting local officials who say the truck was loaded with arms and grenades, and that the driver was killed by police.
