Were now able to get to this bike path where this all went down on halloween afternoon. You can see the decal on the asphalt, walking and biking path. The suspect drove that rented home depot truck down this bike path, killing eight people, and then he eventually ran into a school bus. The plan as he told the fbi was to go from here, to the Brooklyn Bridge, where he thought he would continue to kill pedestrians on the Brooklyn Bridge between manhattan and brooklyn. He obviously never got that far because he ran into a school bus, mini bus filled with special Needs Children strapped into their seats. It was a horrific scene there. This is reminiscent of 9 11 in this part of manhattan. Im staring at the Freedom Tower now. It was the twin towers 16 years ago. The suspect said he felt good about what he did. He appeared to want to have the police engage him and kill him. He survived, and that was somewhat unusual to have a terror attack like this and have a suspect who was alive, and surviving. Lets send it back to you guys. Ron mott live in new york city, thank you. More details on the attack. Heres nbcs savannah guthrie. Oh, my god reporter a dramatic new look at this mangled school bus.

This is a mass casualty situation here. Reporter before crashing into the bus. I saw the damage to the car, kind of flipped up. Reporter saipov got out of the truck yelling, allah akbar, brandishing what turned out to be a paint ball gun and pellet gun until he was shot in the abdomen by an nypd officer. That officer, 28yearold ryan nash, hailed a hero. I feel we were just doing our job, like thousands of officers do every day. Reporter inspecting the suspects truck, investigators found several knives, and a note that read, isis lives forever. It was never to break our spirit, but as an effort to break our spirit it failed. Reporter new yorkers are strong, and resilient.
