Lordsteve666 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The BBC feed seems to be getting most info accurate but there's still all manner of guesswork going on here.60 dead, 100 hostages at theater/nightclub, possibly at least 4 attacks but with possibly 6 gunmen involved so that could be wrong.Hope anyone on the board in Paris is safe tonight.edit: BBC confirmed 2x suicide attacks at Stade de France.

Dunhallym Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 From what I am seing on french tv (France 2) they are no talking at all about les halles or le Louvre. Focus is on the assault at the bataclan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 For fuck's sake!!!American news are reporting that the hostages in the Bataclan are being executed one by one, and hostages that have access to social media are begging for help. Any of this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 5 or 6 explosions just heard in or near the Bataclan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordsteve666 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Someone just mentioned the Pompedou centre (not sure how to spell that one)?I think rumours are getting mixed up in things now so no idea what's going on. Explosions at theater confirmed by Reuters apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Another interview with someone in Paris. A freelance reporter who lived in Toronto for 10 years, and just moved back, was at the football game with her husband. They heard the first bomb explosion, which shook the seats, and they thought it was some kind of new technique aimed at exciting the audience, since they hadn't been at a French game in 10 years, and no one was reacting or leaving the game. Then a bit later there was a second explosion. They tried to check the internet, but the internet had been shut down. Almost at the end of the game the internet was back on and they saw the news, and left the game in the last ten minutes. The police were out there ushering people to the trains. People moved calmly but quickly, and she said you could feel the tension in the air, especially on the train where you could tell people were wondering if there could be a bomber there as well.

Fragile Bird Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Okay, a Europe 1 reporter who was inside the concert hall said two gunmen with Kalashnikovs opened fire and calmly gunned down the crowd. They very calmly reloaded their weapons twice or three times and shot continuously for 15 to 20 minutes.Many dead, presumably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
