quote:A van has plowed into a crowd of people in Barcelona, causing several injuries, local police say. The incident took place near the popular tourist area of Las Ramblas, which has been sealed off, according to a Catalan police spokesman. Officials said several people have been injured. They were unable to give a motive for the incident. Catalan police told everyone in the vicinity of Plaça de Catalunya to remain inside. Link There are also reports that two armed men have entered a restaurant and are holding hostages, but that's unconfirmed. Sadly it seems like we might have yet another ongoing terrorist attack. e- also I know this is a lot to ask but can we make it to at least page 10 without a slapfight

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, that van could very well have been pushed into the crowd from the pressure of a ruptured water main

My apartment is like half a kilometer away from this. My wife and mother-in law were about 200 yards away when it happened. They're OK. It's time to open a bottle of wine. Spanish life rules.

Hilarious title, rear end in a top hat. The restaurant where hostages are being kept- Luna de Istanbul- is where my parents ate dinner LAST NIGHT. And I cannot get to my father because he lives across the Rambla.

She and I were supposed to go to the Corte Ingles at Catalunya today but I asked her not to make me go to that tourist shithole. I was down the street from this, but not close enough to ahve seen. According to my mother's friend, who is friends with someone who works with the police, the death toll has risen to twelve and they believe there is a bomb downtown.
