Early Wednesday morning, a vehicle attack on pedestrians occurred on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, leaving tourists in shock, especially those who witnessed the incident. One visitor from Mobile, Alabama, who was in town for a concert with her husband, described the terrifying moment when a truck plowed through traffic at the intersection of Canal and Bourbon Streets. She recounted how the truck broke through barricades and struck pedicab passengers, resulting in chaos and screams that were unforgettable.
After the truck was finally stopped, the scene turned into pandemonium with debris scattered around and injured individuals. Another visitor, who was watching fireworks from her hotel room, initially mistook the noise of the incident for part of the show's grand finale, only to realize the gravity of the situation later on.
In the aftermath of the attack, some visitors decided to cut short their New Orleans trip, checking out of their hotel early and expressing their desire to leave the city. The sense of fear and unease caused by the incident prompted them to abandon their plans and depart sooner than expected.
