Is 800 Meters Based On A True Story?
Yes, the incident which is the main feature of this investigative series is a tragic and very real occurrence. On 17 August 2017, an attack was carried out at a famous tourist spot in Barcelona. The perpetrator drove a rented van and sped through an 800-meter path near the well-known Plaza de Cataluña. The driver wove in and out and purposefully targeted the pedestrians that were present that day. Thirteen people had lost their lives that day from that attack and dozens more were injured. Barcelona was only the latest to witness such an attack during that time many years ago. A year before the Barcelona attack, Bastille Day in Nice, a market in Berlin, and the London Bridge had also witnessed such an attack, which was carried out by the use of vehicles.
