Yes. That strand is about Austin...or rather stemmed from that.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.

Yeah, grossly misused megathreads!

Remember back when it was possible to understand what a thread was about, since it was actually about something?  I miss those days.

I for one am perfectly happy with people starting individual threads rather than adding to megathreads.

I think megathreads are good for posts where one doesn't expect many, if any, responses to a post (like the books or ancient DNA megathreads), but not for big news like terrorist attacks.

Deaths reported after a van is driven into a terrace in Münster. Driver has killed himself, so it was likely a planned attack.

4 deaths, including the driver. Over 30 injured, with 6 of them in critical condition. Police found a suspicious object in the van, unclear if it is a bomb.
This was the first incident, were I had to check on my relatives, as my eldest sister and her husband are visiting their oldest son today, who is studying medicine in Münster. They actually were on the spot, but left 30 minutes before the attack.

Doesn't sound like it was a terrorist attack.

No, it wasn't politically motivated.
Good to hear everyone's ok, Mal

29 year old guy shoots up Waffle House in Nashville, kills 2, while wearing no pants.

No footage of shooter not wearing pants, so SFW.

White Van mounted a curb in Toronto at 1 pm and killed 10 people.

Are you sure that wasn't Rob Ford driving on crack?

Looks like the driver tried for suicide by cop, pretended to have a gun, but the cops just arrested him. Taken down without a shot.

That would be pretty scary, considering he's been dead for some time now ...
