"Initial reports show so far about a dozen people are in critical condition," police spokeswoman Ambria Washington said. "That number could increase as the investigation is ongoing." Police Superintendent Michael Harrison later said 21 people, including a police officer, were taken to seven hospitals.

Pine worthy

public service announcement:

shoot the driver if you are ever in that situation, not the engine or the tires, the driver


and then get the hell away from the vehicle in case it is rigged to blow

And they are still partying

I love how they always say not terrorist instantly before any investigation

May not be but but damn take a little time to at least analyze first

Yeah, it's probably a white Christian male patriotic gun owner. They cause all the trouble.

28 people now....

ISIS attack?

This is second similar incident today

Another witness, L.A. Morgan of Chicago, said the truck hit several vehicles and people, turned sideways then crashed into the garbage bin. She said she could hear the driver cursing through the truck's open window. Spectators began screaming and running.

Not terrorism?

Of course they are and the parade is still rolling. This is New Orleans after all.

"Suspect" handcuffed being walked to patrol car looks pretty sober to me (right at beginning, around 15 second mark.) He is certainly not black as one eyewitness thought... [link to heavy.com]

I have some older friends there right now, wonderful couple. I hope they're okay, they were posting parade pics yesterday :( hope they weren't at this one....

Pinned now

there's a livestream at this leak

they showed them perp walking the dude he looks young and white

Two similar incidents at same day one in US and Germany.This shit is related

Great....a snowflake gone mad...

I think is terrorist imo

So 21 people already transported and it looks like they are still treating people

someone may be trapped under a vehicle

I agree

Endymion was hands down the best Mardi Gras parade. The parade would start about 6:30 and last until 10 or so. A parader was completely paraded out by the time it was through.

The accident was at Orleans and Carrolton. The guy must have been smashed. He should do some heavy time taking out 27 people. If this was a company truck, the company is f#cked.

Just a guy aressted at tbe seen. Not the driver.. driver was black
