At least 10 people were killed early Wednesday morning when a truck plowed into a crowd on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street in the city’s French Quarter as the popular tourist district celebrated New Year’s Day, officials say. Michael George anchored CBS News’ special report.

All…. uh …. bet .. I can guess who may have done this.
When did we start using the words “mass casualty incident”? How about mass casualty terrorist attack???? Whether it’s domestic or foreign, it’s still TERRORISM!!!!!
Well what a way to celebrate the New Year🎉
Don't like this lady's attitude
That happened in France, recently in Germany. People who do not honor life are sadly, everywhere!
Excuse me? Can we please refrain from politicizing these innocent celebrants losing their lives? They are just as dead, just as taken from us suddenly, their loved ones just as devastated – whether they voted red or blue. Incredibly poor taste, on the part of any individual who tries to make this about something else…
Angey white guy box truck speeding around barricades into crowds, more than 30 hurt, more than 10 dead. Stay away from Bourbon? Have fun, hold yur questions, ok? Yikes!
I honestly don't know why people gather to celebrate the coming year. The only thing that changes is the page on the calendar.
Ban Trucks.
Another Democrat controlled area, right?
GROSS!!!
So incredibly sorry to hear this.
GOD BLESS.
Peace from St. Louis MO.
They haven't release his name or photo. That tells you all we need to know.
Only Trump can sort this out!!
Who the hell is this Grandma in a police costume?
…and through no fault of their own, many of the folks injured will, in the coming months and years, be crippled with outrageous medical bills. Some will lose their homes, some will lose their jobs and credit. They will be set upon by creditors, debt collectors and scammers. Let us talk about that. We grieve of the horror now, but what of the horrors yet to come for the survivors? Will the crushing debt of their medical bills be reported in the coming years? Soon, you will find many of these folks begging for money on a GoFundMe account to cover their medical bills, feed their kids, or to keep their house. Our government has failed our people.
Everyone seems to care tonight, right now. But when the soul crushing medical bills come in for these people months from now, who's gonna care?
No cellphone video? In NO? Flag on truck hidden, no name, no pics? Impossible! Obviously the narrative is being carefully crafted. Just like Luigi, we're going to be gaslighted.
Is that old lady insane?!!! "Just go about your day & have fun". WTHeck?!
They did not Protect the Public….As usual…..DEI Hires.
"Come on in football fans. Never mind the IEDs getting to the stadium, just walk around them. Have a great day!"
I can see it now. Granny pulls someone over, "let's see your license, registration and insurance Sonny"
Everyone come to N.O. and go to the game and have some fun. Just stay away from downtown and Bourbon street. Because it's dangerous to even drive around N.O. any day of the week. Especially on holidays and weekends and week days.
10 people dead hundreds injured, mass casualties but we want you to enjoy New Orleans it has so much to offer.
Kirkpatrick was the most unconcerned or caring person there. I hope they get the person and let the alligators start off the NY well fed.
The Mayor said it was a terrorist attack.
Trump was right about everything
Open borders. What a great idea
Why isnt his face posted ?….oh yeah we ALL know why….🤨😳🫢🙄😏😐
100 bucks says it was an illegal. Good job Biden with the border once again
This woman is so insensitive. Telling people to still party despite multiple deaths.
There are always metal barriers preventing entrance to vehicles always until yesterday.
Omg 😮 we can FIX CRAZY WE CAN 😢😢😢😢 PRAY FOR THE FAMILY'S
wtf do you continue to enjoy New Orleans, bruh the whole trip is ruined wtf 😂
We feel it we stand with you 🇬🇧🇺🇸
This reminds me of a vehicle-ramming attack occurred on April 23, 2018, when a rented van was driven along the business district in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The driver, 25-year-old Alek Minassian, targeted pedestrians, killing 11 and injuring 15, some critically. The incident was the deadliest vehicle-ramming attack in Canadian history.
Why didn't they put up concrete barriers, shame on the people who were supposed to secure the area.. unbelievable
This absolutely breaks my heart omg
Grandma is full crap 😅
Mentally and physically feeble.
That police woman needs to retire…
gone head and retire granny lol. but seriously, rest in peace to the people lost their lives. ridiculous smh
Does anyone realize blocking access in also blocks access to flee the interior of bourbon street
🙏🙏🙏🙏
