I hope they caught the would-be robber.

Many dead as lorry hits crowd in Nice

Many dead as lorry hits crowd in Nice
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36800730Yeah that's pretty crazy. Two of my sisters are vacationing in a town about 10km or so from Nice, and so I tried to call them to make sure everything was fine. I couldn't get in touch with them at all. I didn't think they had gone over the Nice for the evening or anything, but after about three hours I finally got a hold of a neighbour I can't believe I still had the number for (they're in my house), he went over there and they were actually having a sort of pool-side party and their phones were inside.
Sigh
I haven't been able to sleep at all since, and that was hours ago. I'm thankful they're fine, but then you realise that a lot of people aren't going to call their families back. Truly horrific.

@scottalanmiller sad, sad news. Germany has 3 busses of schoolkids on a fieldtrip there right now. So glad my kids are home.

Lots of people sadly affected

It's a tragedy
I feel really bad for their families. -
Something major happening in Turkey. Fighters flying over Ankara, bridge over the Bosphorus has been closed, gunfire heard.... looks like a military coup.

That would be great, seriously, I'd love that. This isn't news either, I mean in the sense of anything new. Been following this a long time:

My younger brother lives in Istanbul, so I'm always interested in how this garbage dump is going.

Oh yeah, I'm excited. This could be exactly what needs to happen. I love Turkey and the current state of things has been heading them towards a disaster. This could turn them around!

Maybe they'd start fighting ISIS rather than fighting Kurds.

No kidding. What a mess it has been. Let's hope this is a pro-Kurdish group taking control.
Turkey's top general is a hostage already.
