Vehicle plows into crowd on Bourbon St., with 14 fatalities

Getting a local report from a witness, someone who is staying at the Royal Sonesta. Bit before 3:20, hearing loud banging sounds. They were in their room. Looked out the window, saw bodies on the ground and truck speeding away. 30 minutes later there was a bomb scare threat announced and the hotel was evacuated.



Interesting.. having worked on that block myself for a while, if ur friend could actually see bodies from her room at the Sonesta, that means that the ‘terrorist’ or whatever we are calling him must have made it down that full city block of Bourbon (between Canal & iberville) , killing folks that whole way, if ur friend could literally see bodies, since iirc the Sonesta ends at Ibervile …. Either way, what an absolutely crazy way for him/her to start the new year .
