    Aye, it's definitely likely, but for some reason I find myself hoping it was an accident..
    Must be the season..

    I presume they have checked that the trailer is not loaded with explosives on a timer

    Ah calm your tits.

    You know well enough why that possibility is being touted.

    No one here knows for a FACT what has happened yet but it is slightly similar to the Paris incident.

    Could well be benign driver error or an accident. Could well be an isolated terror incident.

    Could be a lot of things.

    Why dont YOU wait along with the rest of us before demanding posters back up their posts.

    Because other posters aren't waiting? Have you read the thread? I'm calling people out for always speculating the motives and background of someone involved in any event which may or may not be a terrorist attack.

    Why don't people here grow some balls and ask these kinds of people to show sources for their speculation?

    Yeah I read that myself in the other thread and wondered what it meant..

    What time did that incident happen though? The news reports may reflect a time lag.

    Maybe because there is a precedent for this type of thing happening in Europe over the last couple of years with the end result being the same?

    We have free speech once we are aren't out libeling people.

    It is not like Europe has not been affected by Islamic terrorism.

    Previous trends don't give permission to deem it a Muslim migrant instantaneously. Read the second post on this thread as the perfect example of what I'm talking about.

    That incident was a terrorist attack also. It occurred simultaneously with other bombings in Britain.

    Again that's just speculation, sure say it's a suspected terrorist attack, I'm down with that. But to call it one categorically is just factually wrong right now.

    Grow some balls? Jaysis you are a little ranter arent ya.

    People are allowed speculate until the facts come about.

    You want people to provide a "source" for their "speculation"?! Have you thought that sentence through? Try knowing what you are talking about before you rant.

    In an event like this, it is perfectly acceptable to reflect on recent incidents to gauge what is being dealt with.

    The tragedy in Nice is the first one that personally comes to my mind. That was a terror attack. Is this one the same? I dont know yet but drawing on recent events, its possible.

    Another theory is that the truck became autonomous, like a Deceptacon or did you ever see Maximun Overdrive when the trucks came alive?

    Most likely a terror event.

    That was my post based on precedent, ie Marseille, Bataclan, and numerous others.

    The area had been pedestrianised to attract more people.

    At least 9 dead.

    No religion and people will kill others too, Pol Pot was a radicalised atheist and well over 2 million dead.
