Looked at only the first few seconds of the video.

A couple of possibilities off the top of my head. Possible it was faked? In these times, I will rule nothing out. But to use this video doesn't convince me of the fake. Even in the short portion I watched, there is a truck and it is driving weaving in a crowd toward people.

People who went down not knocked down by the truck. Two alternate theories that don't require the event to be fake: one, people try to get out of the way quickly and fall; two, people in shock often go down, and what they are witnessing here is highly likely to cause significant mental shock in a crowd.

Not everything's a fake. Could this be faked? Like I said, the world is in a hyper-weird state right now, so I will not claim to be 100% sure of anything. But from what I see of this video, it doesn't convince me that this event was staged. I can very quickly come up with explanations for what he's showing on the video that are consistent with the basic story of a lunatic driving a car into a peaceful holiday celebration.

Oh, I'm qnly 98% convinced but it sure looks like a FF to me. MI-5 has been doing this for years. What says FAKE to me is the scene where there were multiple people and four or six people kneeled around each body like they had done it before. You couldn't even see the bodies and the people weren't doing a damn thing. An EMS guy was just standing around. That's not how it's supposed to work.

Better if you watch on 1.5x speed since it's a bit boring.

1) Has this idiot ever even been to a parade? People tend to sit on the curb or in camping chairs on the sidewalk. 2) Try getting hit by a car at those speeds, especially when its not intending to stop, and see if you still think it’s so slow. Bonus points for having part of a heavy brass instrument in your mouth and only mm away from your teeth as this happens.
