Facebook has activated (https://www.facebook.com/safetycheck/nice-france-attack-jul14-2016/) its Safety Check feature for Nice, France, after a truck rammed into a crowd in the city during a Bastille Day parade, killing and injuring dozens.

The Safety Check feature lets users **tify others on Facebook that they're safe following a dangerous event in the area, such as an earthquake, mass shooting or explosion.*
