Several people who witnessed the Barcelona terror attack on August 17, which left 13 people dead and more than 100 injured, share their reactions. Most of the onlookers say the image of the van driving down the street and running people over is haunting them. Many of the witnesses were local business owners who sheltered people in their shops for 5 hours until the police released them. They describe a scene in which people were running and hiding and no one really knew what was going on. Police were yelling to everyone to take cover and hide. By Friday afternoon the area had returned to normal with the exception of several makeshift memorials with candles and flowers.
