Looks like a islamist attack.

maybe a drunk driver.

Glad they apparently have the asshole who did this.



Third time in a row something happened when I traveled. Plane shot down over Ukraine when I travel to Amsterdam, Belgium attacks when I go to Vancouver, and now this. Jesus Christ...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Some witnesses said the driver looked like an East European, which would make sense since it's a Polish truck. But I don't see a motive just yet.

how is it there right now?

Sad. Although we live in a relatively peaceful time (in the context of general human history), it just feels like the world is taking a turn for the worse over the course of the last 18 months especially. Russian ambassador in Turkey was also assassinated today, it's getting ugly.

Wow, really? Now that's crazy.

What a tragedy. You really can't blame Europeans for being afraid and "intolerant" anymore. I have no idea how this can be fixed, but something needs to be done.



Dead guy in truck might be truck driver.

Potential highjack murder and terror attack.

eh I'm in a rather quiet spot, so not much different than usual.
Saw one car on the street and no pedestrians. Maybe a bit quieter...

Police believe it was done on purpose.

Not confirmed if it was islamists or not, yet.

Yeah. Geopolitically that is probably the bigger news as tragic as this event this.
