It was nothing more than smoke from fireworks, no more no less.
French police said a fireworks “accident.” Yet an ISIS Twitter account was showing a photo of it just 15 minutes later, next to the Nice footage.
Fire near Eiffel Tower put out, not linked to Nice attack

The official story is that it was just a fireworks truck that exploded due to “technical” reasons.
And that may well be so.
But, 1) I don’t believe the French (or our) government would say otherwise, if it WAS a terror incident; and
2) I didn’t see any fireworks, per se, from the exploding truck (no wayward skyrockets, no bursts of color in the air, etc.).
So, it PROBABLY was just a fireworks explosion (such things do happen). But I am not discarding my tin foil hat just because Paris says so.
Appears that it was unrelated. Truck with fireworks went boom.
We shall see.
Like Detectives say, “Never believe a coincidence”.
The tower is made of iron. It takes a lot of heat before it starts to burn. ; )
mirror had it covered. truck on the d’lena bridge caught fire and was put out. not much else.
