[UnluckyKate]

Hostage crisis in Bataclan ? it's a concert hall FML

 

[FullMetaltech]

My condolences and heart go out to Paris. Stay safe Paris GAF.

 

[Future PhaZe]

I didn't mean to change the narrative guys, shouldn't have thrown thoughts in my head on here

lets focus on whats being reported

 

[Herb Alpert]

they aren't letting people leave the stadium at all right now from what I've heard, I'm going to guess they are going to be locked down until it's all clear in the general area

Some people began to leave the stadium.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I've never heard about Periscope until now. Seeing this video next to those rising hearts at the bottom right is surreal

 

[Humidex]

Bataclan? Eagles of Death Metal are playing there tonight...

 

[Shake Appeal]

This is awful. How do you even "counter" this kind of terrorism.

 

[AuthenticM]

What motivates people to do this? Ruin so many lives and ruin your own in the process. Utterly pointless.

These people are irrational. There is no reasoning with them. They are probably religious extremists.

Libération ‏@libe 1 minil y a 1 minute
Au Bataclan, une «grosse détonation» ainsi qu’une vingtaine de coups de feu ont été entendus par des témoins liberation.fr/france/2015/11…

A big boom and around 20 shots has been heard by witnesses

 

[chadskin]

is this the football stadium the game is at?

Yes.

It's insane

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Which is a good thing, keep those people as safe as possible instead of having them run around in the city right now.

 

[jmdajr]

damn

 

[Walpurgis]

I haven't heard of any deaths in a while. Maybe the shooter is in the building with the hostages now.

If this is Islamic extremism - even if not from people coming in with those refugees - I'm expecting a lot more border controls, further rise of right wing parties and less support in all countries for Syrian refugees.

Yup.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Suicide bombings? Shit.

 

[FootballFan]

they aren't letting people leave the stadium at all right now from what I've heard, I'm going to guess they are going to be locked down until it's all clear in the general area

That's scary.

Game is just about to finish. Hope it goes safe and well.

Tragic news about the 18 already dead.

 

[Fritz]

There were news this afternoon that they got a bomb warning close to the German team's hotel.

 

[Machina]

Holy shit anyone seein that periscope? They're still shooting

The poor bastard is taking cover behind a car

 

[Tugatrix]

the guy in the stream is scared shitless, this is not good sign

 

[G.ZZZ]

Nvm not worth it

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

That's scary.

Game is just about to finish. Hope it goes safe and well.

Tragic news about the 18 already dead.

Apparently suicide bombers just went off near the stadium or at the stadium.

This is going to change things in France, this is a game changer event.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

60 hostages?

 

[Kinyou]

Lots of empty seats in the stadium now

[Saucy_XL]

[pulsemyne]

!8 deaths confirmed. Dozens injured.
EDIT! Fuck me 5-6 gunmen and 2 at another. 12 dead in a single location.

 

[Snaku]

Yeah, not sure this is going to have the intended effect.

Stay safe, Parisgaf.

[Kimaxe]

They shot the crowd in the back during the gig according to a man who escaped from the scene, this is disgusting.

 

[Kud Dukan]

Oh no.

It will. This isn't like the last few. This one is huge.

It is confirmed.

[Fantastapotamus]

Suicide Bombings? Fucking hell.....

 

[VanWinkle]

This is unbelievable.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

neocons are already giddy on twitter... ugh its not even over and they're already making pronouncements about how we need to bomb more

 

[Gorger]

https://twitter.com/stefandevries/status/665284330789433345

Holy shit this is a major thoroughly planned attack. Fucking sickening...

 

[Human_me]

Are the "suicide" attacks the explosions with grenades earlier or something new just happened?

 

[Hoo-doo]

This periscope is too fucking real.

Goddamn, please everyone get home safe tonight.

 

[JPLMD]

God damn hope everyone over there is safe.

 

[Machina]

We have 60 hostages at the Bataclan.

Ohhhh fuck

 

[ClosingADoor]

Wait, is that in addition to everything else we've been hearing about?!

Yes, multiple attacks. From what I'm reading:

- 2 suicide bombers near the stadium
- 18 deaths by shootings
- Hostage situation at the theater

 

[UnluckyKate]

any stream of the game/stadium?

match is seconds to be over, people or going away because you should get off early if you don't want to be stuck in the ass subway down there. Not related to the match

 

[Tenebrous]

https://twitter.com/stefandevries/status/665285063345643520

When was the last time a coordinated attack of this breadth hit a European country? Beyond sickening.

 

[Kud Dukan]

Yes, multiple attacks. From what I'm reading:

- 2 suicide bombers near the stadium
- 18 deaths by shootings
- Hostage situation at the theater

Oh my god...

 

[DiipuSurotu]

This periscope is too fucking real.

Goddamn, please everyone get home safe tonight.

31,000 people watching and the number keeps rising

 

[Grizzo]

I live in the 11th arrondissement, 5 minutes from where one of the shootings happened

Most subway stations around here are closed right now. Sirens keep going off in the streets

Needless to say I'm staying in and cancelling all my plans for tonight.

It's awful I have no words
