Heartbreaking Photo Shows the Indiscriminate Carnage of the Nice Attack

As soon as Nice-based Reuters photographer Eric Gaillard heard about Thursday night's deadly attack on a crowd of Bastille Day revelers, he raced to the scene and took hundreds of photos capturing the chaotic aftermath and unbearable toll. It was only later, as Gaillard reviewed his photographs, that he realized the power of one image in particular.

“When I shot this photograph, I didn’t think about the reactions, the feelings it might produce,” Gaillard says.
