I'm almost surprised no one has pulled this off earlier. A truck ought to be relatively easy to get, and can do insane damage in a crowd. Also, I don't think there's almost any way this is not a terrorist attack. The criminal attack things just doesn't make any sense (why would a criminal want to attack a crowd?), and I doubt there would be this many victims if this wasn't intentional.

Anyway, this is another sad incident. Sadly I think we're going to be getting a lot more of them, and it seems the authorities are almost powerless to stop them. As far as I know, France has pretty permissive intelligence laws, but those are obviously not enough to stop these attacks.
