This is stupid.
There are thousands of Bastille Day celebrations throughout France every year. Only one, in one year, has been attacked. The odds of you even being at the attacked celebrations, let alone harmed, are vanishingly slim.
There are thousands of live music events throughout France every week, surely extending into the millions per year. The odds of you even being at the attacked concert, let alone harmed, are vanishingly slim.
There are thousands of railway services throughout France every week, definitely extending into the millions per year. The odds of you even being on the attacked train, let alone harmed, are vanishingly slim.
So no, it's not good luck to have avoided attack. It's massively, implausibly, shittingly bad luck to be harmed in an attack. And bad luck will sometimes befall you, but you can't live your life like you're going to be victim to an extremely rare event.

This is typical from journalists who want to make big headlines to sell big and make a killing with their articles and supposed "news".Apparently Bono was dining in a restaurant right above the street where the attack occurred. The headline makes it seem like he a needed a special detachment of cops in a time of need and the comment section is full of U2 hate.
Sounds like he witnessed some of the worst of it.
Bono caught up in Bastille Day massacre and had to be evacuated from restaurant in Nice - Independent.ie

Is it in poor taste if we make some comment about how Bono is always at a restaurant?
keeps happening? tourist sites? is this the first time or second time? did you not see the list?will take a hit if this keeps happening, particularly if they start hitting tourist sites more and more.
I think deep is exaggerating but I also don't doubt that there are plenty of people who may rethink their holiday plans. Not everyone, but enough that the tourism industry will take a hit if this keeps happening, particularly if they start hitting tourist sites more and more.
I was almost at Pulse three nights before the shooting.
My sister had her flight rescheduled to the night before in Istanbul.
Despite being so close, myself and my family were never in harm's way. First, I "almost" went to the club. I didn't actually. Second, it was three nights later. Third, it was after the bar closed -- I would've been long gone. Fourth, I never go on Saturdays. Five, well, plain and simple, 5 of every 6 people at occupancy was not harmed.
For my sister. She was transferring flights in Istanbul. These events took place at or near security and the entrance. Of which terminal, I don't know. Would she have been anywhere near the attack? Likely not. Also, she wasn't even there. She just almost was there. Even if she was, likely several thousand people were at the airport during the attack. Likely 99% of the people at the airport were unharmed.
EVEN when you come dangerously close, your odds are incredibly small of being harmed. To suggest the risk factor is higher means you've become prone to sensational media. "Nowhere is safe" might be true, but "I am more likely to be harmed than before" is so marginally small the difference is infinitely numerically unnoticeable.
we've gone ahead with our plans to vacation in the mediterranean this coming October (not France, tho). it hasn't given us pause, exactly, but it does run through one's mind.
some great hotel discounts to be found.
ok, thanks that clears everything up
there is really nothing that needs to be done, the risk is so marginal, it is really no risk at all
of course the family members of the dead people might have a different opinion, but when you add them into a nation of 325 million people, they are less than irrelevant.

Do you think the resources spent for security at public gathering spots should be scaled back or diverted? I'm thinking soccer stadiums, transport hubs, etc. Not to mention the funding needed to maintain militarized city police departments, etc...
Oh fuck off.
...
And stop being a dick.
When you used to frequent Mexico, were you the star of the show in Tijuana?
Cause you sure come across as a jackass.

How about not distorting other people's comments so you can make an overly reductive and completely unfair insinuation that they don't care about victims of terrorism?
Thanks.
Oh, and your crazy militarised police departments seem no more effective at keeping the peace - and probably less so - than the unarmed police departments in the UK and New Zealand, sooo...

What part is an exaggeration?
Sounds like your father is a clear thinking person that can correctly evaluate risk.
