Dude targeted aviation fuel tanks 1,100 feet from the concert site. If they'd gone up, would that have wiped out the crowd?

Fortunately, AS THE ARTICLE YOU QUOTE YOURSELF SAYS, jet fuel doesn't ignite easily and it was impossible that they'd have gone up.

Hollywood failed us again

No one ever said that it was impossible that the fuel could have "gone up."  It would have been difficult to ignite in the absence of tracer rounds, and the tanks had fire suppression systems that would have prevented the ignition of fuel vapor in the tanks themselves (for longer than he could shoot at them, anyway), but it wasn't impossible to ignite fuel vapor outside the tanks if he could produce sufficient sparks with his shots.

Road traffic accident apparently.

Not sure if it was Cromwell Rd (?) the main thru road, or Museum Rd (?) which is now a weird hybrid pedestrian area with some car access, that seems to confuse some people.

BBC say it was in Exhibition Road, which, as you say, had some very expensive and confusing improvements made recently.

Ah, that's the right name, I guess I think of it as 'museum road' as it's got the science museum entrance on it and it links the V&A/Nat. History with Hyde Park.

Sometimes the Daily Mail has its uses :

This sort of thing has been very successful in the Netherlands. I think the theory is that because of the confusion the driver will slow down and take things carefully. This relies on the driver not being a moron of course.

Somebody had a pedestrian strike and the first thing people think of is Radical Islamic Motorists.

Bloodbath in downtown NYC after truck driver runs over pedestrians

A man in a pickup truck killed six people when he drove onto the West Side bike path in lower Manhattan Tuesday afternoon — and then shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he got out of the car with fake guns, police sources said.

The attack happened around 3:15 p.m., when a man in a flatbed pickup truck from Home Depot veered onto the bike path at West St., a few blocks north of Chambers St., police said.

The suspect, who was shot by police, then plowed his car into multiple people on the path, killing up to six and injuring several others, according to cops.

He continued driving south and hit another car, then got out and displayed "imitation firearms," police said.

The man then shouted, "Allahu Akbar," according to police sources.

Witnesses described a scene of terror, as people fled for safety.

"Jesus! A car just ran over 2 people and then crashed into a school bus. I see two dead bodies and citibikes on the floor destroyed," a Twitter user wrote.

"What happened was there was a car crash... he came out of one of the cars. He had two guns," a 14-year-old Stuyvesant HS student said. "We thought it was a Halloween thing. He started running around the highway. There was another guy in a green shirt that was chasing him around."
