84 DEAD, OVER 50 INJURED CHILDREN IN BASTILLE DAY ATTACK In what French President Francois Hollande is calling an act of terror, a man drove a large truck for more than a mile through a crowd of people gathered in Nice to watch the fireworks for Bastille Day. The driver of the truck has been identified as 31-year-old French-Tunisian Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel. Take a look at a graphic of the attack, as well as an aerial reenactment of the truck's deadly zigzagging path. And here is the most heartbreaking image from the "carnage on the road." [Charlotte Alfred and Willa Frej, HuffPost]
