No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack
Eyewitness: 'It was well-planned'
Eyewitness Andy McArdy works at Le Queenie, a restaurant on the Promenade des Anglais. He tells CNN of his shock that an attack like this has happened in Nice.
"Maybe though something would happen during the Euro 2016, but that passed without incident. Nice was a soft target, a family outing, people enjoying the music, the promenade.
He continued: "It was very well planned; they knew that the noise of fireworks would mask the noise of gunfire, so that people would think that they were hearing fireworks, instead of, sadly, live gunfire that killed people."
Recalling the moment the truck appeared on the promenade, McArdy said: "He must have broken through the barriers ... You could hear the pop, pop, pop. There were bodies everywhere.
"Everyone came rushing in the restaurant -- about 100 people -- trying to find safe passage. They ended up staying in the building until midnight, when police said it was safe to leave.
McArdy says the scene today has "an extremely eerie atmosphere."
"Nothing has been cleaned away -- the bodies have been removed, but the debris and the blood are still there."
Never regret anything that has happened in your life, it cannot be changed, undone or forgotten so take it as a lesson learned and move on.
-- UNKNOWN :
Some events in our life--good or bad--are not only necessary but mandatory. They need to happen. We need to experience them. They are part of our being humans. Heartache, joy, frustration, failure, defeat, victory. What matters most is our mental attitude and character. What has been done can not be undone. It can only be remedied. Amid life's imbroglio and intricacies, life must go on.

I'd rather have an enemy who says that he hates me, than to keep a "friend" whose mission is to put me down secretly.
-- UNKNOWN :
Enemies will sometimes learn to love us when their hatred reaches expiration date, especially if they discover our innate goodness and potentials as allies. But cloak-and-dagger "friends" are worse than vampires. These malignant spirits can never be trusted because they will eat our liver and intestines when opportunity warrants.

If you have two friends in your lifetime, you're lucky. If you have one good friend, you're more than lucky
— S.E HINTON :
One real good friend who honestly and courageously tells us we are wrong is better than 20 angels singing hallelujah and heaping ear-piercing but undeserved praises to us when in truth and in fact we are wrong.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
-- JIMI HENDRIX :
Love is already power. It loses its supremacy and market value only if distorted, abused, and used as a tool to deceive the gullible, exploit the ignorant, and dominate the weak.

I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said 'I want to be let alone!' There is all the difference.
― GRETA GARBO :
Unless we don't regularly clean our ears with cotton buds, there's no way we can miss a simple appeal from our partners or loved ones to give them a space when push comes to shove.

The best part of the art of living is to know how to grow old gracefully.
-- ERIC HOFFER :
In growing old, we must focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing the activity but in doing it, therefore we must save our best for last.
