        Incredibly graphic scenes of the aftermath available on the interwbz. Not a good idea to link to any of them.

              Has this been confirmed for sure as a terrorist act?

                Not officially. Still the chance it was an out-of-control driver is shrinking in that multiple witnesses have said the vehicle swerved to hit larger groups.

                    Especially since....

                    The man had opened fire on the crowd, local government chief Christian Estrosi told local media, also citing the discovery of weapons and grenades after the driver was killed.
                    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                            When I first heard of the truck, I saw words like tractor-trailer, tractor, etc. In my experience there is a big difference....when tractor trailer usually meant, to me, both components, while tractor meant a cab without a trailer. And I admit I had visions of a huge rig like the ones we get through Barstow all the time. Not that this one wasn't big enough to do damage....too much damage as to the lives lost and people's hearts broken.
