Jeez, crazy this. No Belgium against Spain, no Germany vs. Holland... yikes.

Hopefully it's nothing @ Hannover.

 

[Alx]

I went to check the Place de la République in Paris out of curiosity. It's impressive how many press trucks are there.
Anyway I like what the street artists did to a nearby wall :


It's the motto of Paris, "Tossed but not sunk".

 

[ClosingADoor]

Strange stuff with the cancellation of Germany - Holland. Wonder what has changed in the last minutes to suddenly make that decision.

 

[brainchild]

Probably already posted. But its heartbreaking.

"Father and Son have conversation about Paris attack."

Incredible!

 

[Kathian]

Sounds like they had reason to believe it was not safe; two hours prior to kick off is really very early.

Sky Sports News just mentioned "a suitcase," although it was kinda mentioned in passing, like they were unsure to even say it. I think evacuation would be an extreme for one misplaced object.

Game is being cancelled

Sigh... hope for nothing serious.

Police hasn't said anything yet. BILD says there were suspicious people, spiegel says a suitcase but no one knows

They were just on news 15 minute ago and everyone though game goes ahead

Holy cow. Hope its just a precaution.

Situation in Hannover sounds like they received call/calls about bomb threat

There was a suitcase found over an hour ago but it was reported as harmless by the police.

Has to be something else.

 

[Milchmonster]

Police calls it a "concrete dangerous situation". And the police was very clear that people need to get away quickly.

Looks like something has been found inside the stadium.

 

[zsynqx]

Hopefully it is nothing.

Edit: Police calling it a "concrete security threat."

They're getting it from social media probably, so not really trustworthy at the moment. Reading on Twitter there was a suitcase, but turned out to be a fake threat. But until the police say anything, it's unclear.

 

[Milchmonster]

Periscope stream from some Bild reporter:

[Keyser Soze]

"Concrete dangerous situation" and "Do not stand still" sound like very weird statements. I hope that is just weird translation making usual police phrases sound more extreme.

"Ladies and gentlemen, dear football friends. I am sorry, but the game was cancelled on a short notice. There is... stay calm please. There is no danger, no threat incoming or anything like that. Just go home normally."

Sounds a lot calmer than the other message you posted. Then again, maybe some idiots stayed behind and tried to watch "something". Of course the police want everyone at least to move away until everything is secured, I guess.

 

[Xando]

Polizist Joerg Hoffmeister says something was found in the stadium and everyone had to be evacuated. They don't know what it is yet.

Sorry, I don't speak french. These just popped up on my feed.

Edit: I don't speak German either.

Neither do I. Hannover is a city in Germany.

 

[Jokab]

Any German-speakers watching the periscope stream? What is being said?

Yep, I did know that. My brain is just being shit

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

German police told people to go home and stay home. Whole city of Hanover is under threat of attack. Scary stuff.

 

[Kölsch Bloot]

Supposedly one of the Paris attackers was sighted dressed as a taxi driver at the Hannover arena.

 

[Chariot]

Any German-speakers watching the periscope stream? What is being said?

He is asking people on the street. He got partly information we already know and partly rumours people heard from other people. Nothing interesting.

 

[SporeCrawler]

Posted? An article from a guy that was captured by isis for 10 month

With their news and social media interest, they will be noting everything that follows their murderous assault on Paris, and my guess is that right now the chant among them will be “We are winning”. They will be heartened by every sign of overreaction, of division, of fear, of racism, of xenophobia; they will be drawn to any examples of ugliness on social media.

Central to their world view is the belief that communities cannot live together with Muslims, and every day their antennae will be tuned towards finding supporting evidence. The pictures from Germany of people welcoming migrants will have been particularly troubling to them. Cohesion, tolerance – it is not what they want to see.

Not much of substance, really. The reporter doesn't have much information aside of the police statements.

Lots of rumors from other persons he saw on the street that (hopefully) is just crazy rumors ("terrorists seen near the stadium disguised as bus driver").

 

[The perfect Dark]

But Sigmar Gabriel just said we don't need any more/ new safety measures?


Oh wait, right....Fuck Sigmar Gabriel and our politicians. Thank god we have the BND and good police.

Sucks for the fans though.

 

[Chariot]

Die Polizei sprach nur von einer "konkreten Gefährdungslage". Nach SPIEGEL-ONLINE-Informationen war am Stadion ein Gefährder gesehen worden, daraufhin zog der Niedersächsische Innenminister Boris Pistorius die Notbremse. Der NDR zitierte Polizeipräsident Volker Kluwe, der ebenfalls von einer "konkreten Gefahrenlage für ganz Hannover" sprach.

The police only talked about a "concrete threat scenario". According to SPIEGEL-ONLINE-information an endangerer was spotted at the stadium, prompting Lower Saxony Secretary of the Interior Boris Pistorius to pull the emergency brake. The NDR quoted police president Volker Kluwe, who also spoke about a "concrete threat scenario for all of Hannover".

Two suitcases found in the stadium according to Tagesschau.

 

[shmoglish]

Only living 20 minutes from Hannover feels a bit strange now.

Hope everything is ok.

 

[Milchmonster]

Tagesschau says two suitcases were found inside the stadium.

 

[Starfield]

JuSt safety measures. Probably nothing. IF they are indes some Terrorist are running around i hope they catch them before they can flee.

Should give every other pos a nice Warning.

Still pretty bad. The mere threat just shut down concerts, half of the public traffic and a big football game. This is what terror is about.

So two suitcases found in a stadium and a woman tries to enter the cockpit of a British Airways flight. Hope they aren't linked.

False alarm next to my school this afternoon at Bibliothèque François Mitterand's subway station. Couldn't get out of our building, cops and military were there /sigh

Edit: According to the police twitter of Lowern Saxony, the concert is not evacuated. So the underground trains stuff is probably not true as well. https://twitter.com/PNiedersachsen

That's no official account is it?
