the unbearable images of the evening broadcast at the trial

Images of incredible violence. Thursday, September 15, during the trial of the Nice attack, the Court watched the crazy race of the ram truck filmed by video surveillance cameras. At the exit of the courtroom, the spirits were sounded. “I felt images of terror that are indescribable, terrifying and apocalyptic moments”testifies Isabelle Picard, a victim of the attack. “It’s unbearable, ultra-violent. We see that he zigzags and reaccelerates to crush dozens of people at once. He rushes to the candy stand”confides Stéphane Erbs, co-president of the association Promenade des anges.

The President of the Court has decided to broadcast these images, because they are likely, according to him, to shed light on the criminal act committed by Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel. On July 14, 2016, a truck drove into the crowd on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes). The attack lasted four minutes and 17 seconds, killed 86 people and injured more than 400. The driver was shot dead by the police.
