On July 14, a Tunisian man drove a truck through crowds celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, killing 84 people and wounding 202 others. Many festival goers had their cell phones and shared their video and images of before, during, and after the attack. These are just a few we have collected.
Warning: some images may be graphic or disturbing.
