"(The government) said today they will resume the order here, as what the terrorists want is people are fearful for doing anything and just hide at home. But maintaining normality is relative, and for today it may be impossible as the attack has just happened."

Storyline


Eyewitnesses and victims of the terror attack in Barcelona are recalling and ruminating the horror of those few life-and-death minutes of Thursday afternoon.

It all started with an unidentified man rushing a white van down Barcelona's Las Ramblas tourist street to hit and run over as many people as he could.

"I was right out there when it happened. I was checking the front door for a problem and saw the white van speeding down the crowd. People started to run away from it. I told them to get into my place. We then helped move the wounded into my place. Lots of them were kids and horrified. We started comforting people. But they were terrified and anxious and crying. We tried to calm them down. About eight in the evening, the police came to pick them up," recalled Silvia.

This eyewitness added that local authorities had advised people to stay indoors until the end of the incident and encouraged the local people to continue their lives as usual to fend off the intended effect of horror and terror attack by terrorists.

A Brazilian tourist recalled seeing people running all directions for life.

This tourist has got his leg injured in the incident and has got treatment in a local hospital.
