In the videos from last night in Nice, everyone had their noses in their phones. No one was paying any attention. It was amazing no one was accidentally hit crossing the street. How could any of them possibly think that crisis was over or the second wave wasn't immanent?

Excellent point. Perhaps many people subconsciously equate terrorism with natural disasters. IOW, it’s unlikely another hurricane Katrina will happen again for decades, so they apply that same reasoning to terrorism, and think it’s ok to relax. Classic normalcy bias.
