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

Wow. I mean, I was 10 and not living here and even though it doesn't get brought up a lot, obviously something like this does bring it back up. My husband's told me a little as he pointed out the hotel the first time I was here and I think I've seen the local news report on it some. In this day and age, would that have been a story this huge?
I know of the Mark Essex HoJo shooting because my dad brings it up all the time. That day he was a couple of blocks away eating at Panchos on Gravier St.
