My first thought was that it was a terrorist attack. They don't run a crawl on your computer if it is a multiple hit and run. I don't see why thinking it was terrorism is wrong. There have been many incidents, two in France, One in Germany during Christmas season and one on the bridge over the Thames that were terrorists driving vehicles into crowds in order to kill people.

This was just flashed on my computer; Read the second to last sentence. "Authorities have not ruled out terrorism". Are they bigots and racist for considering it a possibility?
