I'm at a loss for words.

I'm not shocked or surprised. We are at a point where news coverage of an attack ends because coverage of another begins. This is the world we live in now and that in itself is the most devastating.
What happened is absolutely awful and horrifying but at the same time incomprehensible. It wasn't a bomb or a hostage situation that went on for hours- it was a truck through a crowd. There are photos, but the the amount of people dead and the fact that it went on for a mile is hard to really understand on a certain level.

I'm very thankful for instant communication these days. My brother-in-law and his wife are in France for a wedding and were taking a little time to travel in the area - I knew Nice was one of those places, and they were in fact, there yesterday. Very thankful that not only are they OK but that we were able to find that out by around 10 p.m. There was some concern about one member of their greater group, but I'm hopefully guessing that he's also OK as no Canadians have been listed on the victims list.
It's awful any time people are murdered, but especially kids. Who were out celebrating. None of it's ever OK, but something about the exact situation makes it extra heartbreaking to me.

My DHs ex wife , her boyfriend, and her sister and husband were very close by in a cafe. They ducked under tables, and we're ok. They posted on facebook but said they would have no wifi after that. They heard screams and sirens.

Update to my post - the coworker is safe, but apparently was watching it all from his hotel room. I can't imagine witnessing any of this on any level. lindywholoveskids, happy to hear your "family" is safe.
