The images coming out of Nice are horrific. Reports began surfacing that evening of dozens of people killed in Nice, France, when a large truck plowed into a crowd of revellers watching the fireworks display celebrating Bastille Day along the Promenade des Anglais. It estimated that about 30,000 people were on the Promenade des Anglais at the time of the attack, according to a report by the BBC. As of Friday afternoon, the number of deaths stood at 84 individuals, with many more injured — some critically.
