Re: Attack in Nice, France - dozens dead
A spokesperson for the French ministry of Justice says that 10 children and teenagers have been killed. 
52 persons are critical.
A whole family (an elderly couple, their daughter and their grandson) as well as a father to be who died while protecting his wife are among the victims.
Foreign victims include a Russian student, 2 German students and their teacher, 2 U.S. citizens (father and son), 2 Swiss nationals and a Tunisian.
The killer has been identified as Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel. One of the main questions is, how could this guy drive for so long without being stopped?

4-5 ton truck moving at 60 km/h takes a lot to stop. One article I saw said a motorcyclist tried to open the door to stop him, but fell and went under the tire.

Yeah, it is hard.
The area was supposed to be locked and pedestrian only due to fireworks (it was bank holidays, French national day). But this guy somehow got in. 
He may have had some help.
I read it was 80 km/h.

I read that the police stopped and asked him why he was in the area, and he told them he was delivering ice cream, so they let him go.

...and that is why it's so simple for them to pull these attacks off. Surprised the back of the truck wasn't loaded with explosives to go off after he was killed.

Re: Attack in Nice, France - dozens dead
Thank you, Randall Flagg. A very interesting read. And they are not mentioning it on TV. I remember seeing a mention that the lorry was parked in the area, though.
A witness I saw on TV reported seeing a dead 7 year old boy. According to the prosecutor in charge of the investigation, 10 young children and 20 teenagers are among the victims.
The terrorist has been described as a 31 year old womanizer who was not very religious...
