00:00We had been enjoying the evening, a very nice atmosphere.

00:04People were having a good time and first heard these bangs and tires squealing and looked

00:12and saw this truck start to accelerate at a high rate of speed.

00:17My wife and I were walking down the middle of the street and saw it.

00:22We were on Bourbon about a block away from Canal where the attack happened and so saw

00:28it from the beginning, heard it, and were able to essentially jump out of the way off

00:33the roadway.

00:35So the truck did miss us by just a few seconds and a few feet.

00:39So he was coming right toward you?

00:43We were in the middle of the street.

00:44The truck was coming right towards us, but luckily we did see it and hear it quickly

00:49enough to get ourselves out of the street, but unfortunately right in front of us several

00:56others did not.
