Support NeoGAF

[ElTorro]

Assuming you're still listening but yeah he just said it's still unfolding.

Must have missed it. Had to circumvent YouTube's region lock to watch the stream and missed the beginning.

 

[pulsemyne]

Still inside a bar somewhat near the bataclan, updating from my phone. We're calmly staying in just in case, waiting for updates and the all clear that everything is good. Apparently a friend was at the show but is fine.

Stay safe dude. All of GAF is with you and Paris tonight.

 

[Lender]

Wait What???

People need to add sources, especially at times like these.

 

[Walpurgis]

Possible bomb at the concert hostage situation.

This is what I was afraid of. A bomb in that building would a disaster.

Have the perpetuators been identified as refugees?

It won't matter.

 

[Lucifon]

No she wrote me a small concert and they re closing down. Was 20m ago. I hope phone lines are just busy ...

I'm sure things are just pretty hectic across the whole of Paris right now. Phone lines will indeed be going crazy.

Hope you can get in touch with her!

 

[Starfield]

is something happening at the top of the eiffel tower?

This cant be true. There are always armed guards at the Eiffel Tower. Military.

Hope the all clear comes soon so you can go home and get some well deserved rest. Stay safe.

Local newscaster actually just uttered the words: "Bad day in France but big night here in high school football."

 

[Veritigo_X]

CNN is saying something about the stadium, can't confirm, but he says they are killing people one by one in there. Someone posted on facebook for the police to raid the stadium.

They were talking about the concert hall, not the stadium.

 

[SkylineRKR]

It's terrifying. It's like a hydra. How do you fight it?

Its an idea. So good luck fighting it. Its not based in just Syria either. But here, and there...

How do you kill an ideology. Time does. Future generations that are properly educated.

 

[GnawtyDog]

French here (not in Paris). My twitter timeline is scary as fuck. People on the street are asking for a shelter.

The definition of terror. So fucking sad.

Fuuuuuuck

 

[Ochibi]

I have a lot of friends at the moment at Les Halles shopping mall. People running in panic

 

[Mister Negative]

CNN is saying something about the stadium, can't confirm, but he says they are killing people one by one in there. Someone posted on facebook for the police to please raid the stadium.

This was the concert hall, which has (apparently) been evacuated?

 

[Rösti]

Is there perhaps a basement or attic you can hide in?

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

don't think it's the stadium, you're probably confusing the concert hall with the stadium

 

[bomma_man]

Have the perpetuators been identified as refugees?

It doesn't matter really.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

CNN just reported there are hostages posting on social media, begging authorities to raid the theater because the hostage takers are "slaughtering them one-by-one."

God, I pray that isn't true.

 

[woodsey1982]

Brother is in the city. Doesn't speak French and he's trying to travel back to his place. I'm trying to tell him to ask anyone to let him stay with them until things die down. He needs to not be traveling around.

Give me some French he can say to someone asking can I please stay in your home?

@Tim_Burgess: If you’re in Paris and need shelter, look up the #PorteOuverte hashtag. People are offering shelter to those needing help

 

[Wind's Howling]

It is crazy to realize I was standing at those spots two months ago with my girlfriend when we went on a holiday for 4 days in Paris.

It is tough realizing that some places will probably never be the same. People who lost loved one's here and there. Crazy.

C'est possible de rester chez vous svp?

G.A.F.?

 

[SwolBro]

Why don't people bum rush these mother fuckers? this is what you have to do. haven't we learned anything?

this is such a huge problem. it's time to retire religion all together. that's my view at least.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Still that is messed up.

not the stadium, the theater where a concert was being held.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

IGNORE THE EIFFEL TOWER BULLSHIT

it's some stupid fucking social media false report about the eiffel tower collapsing

the fact that someone would even try to bring that up in this thread is baffling and appalling

 

[Herb Alpert]

Hollande speaks, gives no numbers, deploys army

state of emergency on the whole countryn borders closed

God, I pray that isn't true.

WHAT?

Aidez moi

Laisser moi entrer s'il vous plait

Help should be good normally.

I hope everything turns out ok for your brother.

 

[Boogie]

This is also my question all the time. When there is one shooter it can slip under the radar, but how can these well organised attacked go under the radar. What use is for those big budgets for the different secret services from different countries if not for situations like this?

Simple, all the terrorists need to do is use some of the unbreakable encryption technology without any backdoor access for law enforcement that GAF is always championing.....

places of worship likely would be open to anyone who needs shelter

French people usually speak english just fine. He'll be able to communicate no problem.

He is mobilizing the army apparantly. 'Calling in all available resources to protect city'.

Use google translate for something basic like

I dont speak french/im a visitor please help me and let me stay in your home?

Really hope CNN's bullshit standards are proving to be the case here as well. fuck

If you retire religion, i'm sure man will find another excuse for bloodshed. Mankind is flawed.

This world is getting worse and worse

French president declaring state of emergency in the entire country. Borders to be closed immediately.
