Terror hit France again, on a day when the country was celebrating freedom and unity - Bastille Day. A truck plowed through a crowd of people, who had gathered for fireworks, in the city of Nice.
The attack killed at least 84 people with many seriously injured.
But among the hundreds who survived the attack as they ran away from the speeding truck, a few survivor stories have surfaced and gone viral, including that of photographer Grace-Ann Morrow.
Talking to the BBC, Morrow recounted the attack as it happened: "It was complete chaos... people were screaming, kids were crying."
Grace-Ann Morrow had been in the city for the Bastille Day celebrations.
An avid photographer and model, Morrow's videos - of the attack - on Instagram were some of the first videos that went viral online.
'Out of the sudden huge panic erupted from the street, and everywhere was running the general direction away from the Nice jazz festival. I got separated from my aunt and uncle. We had no idea what was going on," Morrow told the BBC.
Although she doesn't know much French, Morrow said that she could hear security personnel repeat them say the French word for suicide.
The young woman was with her family at the 'exact spot' of the attack, 20 minutes ago.Insane Panic all throughout Nice centre. Alleged terrorist rumors and major confusion as to what we are all running from. #nicefrance #bastilleday #bastilleday2016 #niceterrorist ?

"It was terrible to have all of that erupt on such a positive night - such a paradox."Moments before the attack. If you can see just how densely packed the streets were. How alive and celebratory everyone was. This was recorded along the Promenade Des Anglais. Where the truck was driving. The streets were purposely closed so the pedestrians could roam freely and enjoy the festivities. Nobody could have predicted an attack. What a horrible end to such a beautiful day. I was lucky. #bastilleday2016
