Support NeoGAF

[Kabouter]

What do these fucks have against France anyways? That it's part of the coalition against Isis?

Assuming it is a radical Muslim attack, what they have against France is that France does not adhere to their batshit insane ideology.

 

[Wind's Howling]

This viscious cycle of terrorism and counter-terrorism needs to end.

Stay safe, Paris GAF.

 

[OnkelC]

What now? the spectators of the match are brought back inside and are crowding inside the stadium?

 

[DrForester]

Holy fuck

The vine from the football game and the sound of the explosion.

Man, I hate to think what the area looks like with an explosion that loud. The players are kind of in a "WTF?" state as well.

 

[Kinyou]

Where are you seeing this? Link?

Sorry don't have a stream I'm seeing it on TV. Don't see a panic, people are just gathering on the field. Probably a safer spot.

 

[mightynine]

Fox reporting 14 dead at nightclub.

I highly doubt that's from the terrorists. Notice how the crowd cheers afterwards? It's normal for that sort of stuff to happen in European crowds after letting off explosions or flares.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Everybody is probably stuck there for hours and will be let out in smaller groups. One suicide bomb between such a large group or someone with a gun will mean dozens dead. Best thing to keep them inside right now.


No, this sounds like something way more pre planned.

crazy footage of people on the grass in the stadium right now on TV

 

[tomtom94]

Holy shit, any chance this is a retaliation for Jihadi John? The timing is really suspect.

Well A) there's absolutely nothing to link it to ISIS at this stage and B) it's way too well co-ordinated to be a spontaneous response to Jihadi John.

 

[Humidex]

Was it a eagles of death metal gig?!?

Yep

 

[CountAntonius]

Just woke up to see this. Fucking Nightmare. RIP to the lost.

 

[Guy.brush]

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

Yup. The world lives in different ages. and those living in the dark ages try to drag everyone else back down again. We need to really leave non rational thought and fear of a lack of after life behind. Otherwise the only life each one of us has is literally going to be hell.

 

[Walpurgis]

HO FUCK.

I WANTED TO GO TO THAT CONCERT!!!!!!

I don't know what to say...

Wow.... I hope there aren't any gaffers that did go. Glad to hear that you didn't.

 

[pulsemyne]

Bugger me 100 shots fired at the eagles of death metal concert and an explosion.

 

[Jezbollah]

Witness on Sky News saying there is a hostage situation at the Eagles of Death Metal concert.

 

[Quick Mustard]

Whats this periscope feed?

Stay safe Paris.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I am afraid to say I have very little hope for the hostages in the theatre, this looks like a suicide mission

 

[DrForester]

What now? the spectators of the match are brought back inside and are crowding inside the stadium?

Really the safest thing to do, assuming Public transit is down. Secure the Stadium and don't let tens of thousands of people panic and flee into the streets.

 

[Ochibi]

I was supposed to go to school tomorrow but because of this event, it has been cancelled. My school is about 15mins from 10th district ...

 

[Grizzo]

Family and friends keep sending me texts, I'm watching the news right now, it makes me even more anxious but I just can't look away

What is this world coming to

Yeah, looked way worse when the first people ran on the pitch.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Fox reporting 14 dead at nightclub.

nightclub ? what nightclub ?

 

[Tugatrix]

So periscope guy just got send away by an heavy armed police he's saying

 

[ArchedThunder]

Holy shit, I hope this comes to a swift end.

Is there any idea who is doing this and why?

 

[RustyNails]

Fucking hell. Condolences to those lost.

 

[Netherscourge]

This is my biggest fear regarding terrorism. No big schemes, just a group of people shooting at will in a crowded public place.

You got a big soccer match, a concert, it's a Friday. Plenty of pedestrian traffic.

This sounds well-planned to me.

I wonder if there's any significance for 11/13/15 as a date or maybe a retaliation for the big US attack on ISIS yesterday?

-Assuming this is another Muslim Extremist terrorist attack that is...

 

[mightynine]

nightclub ? what nightclub ?

Bataclan

 

[Walpurgis]

Whats this periscope feed?

Stay safe Paris.

You don't believe in their religion so you die, that is their reason.

 

[Kinyou]

Yeah, looked way worse when the first people ran on the pitch.

Yeah, the first couple of people ran which made it look a bit out of control

 

[timetokill]

nightclub ? what nightclub ?

I'm assuming they mean the concert hall.

 

[Gandie]

I highly doubt that's from the terrorists. Notice how the crowd cheers afterwards? It's normal for that sort of stuff to happen in European crowds after letting off explosions or flares.

There's no flares or explosives at international friendlies. It's mostly families.

No it was the explosion outside the stadium. They don;t tend to let off big arse fireworks in the stade de france.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Whats this periscope feed?

Stay safe Paris.

I think they mean this one https://www.periscope.tv/w/1lDGLWYaNbRKm

I'm watching France24 http://www.france24.com/en/breaking...oncert-hall-pariss-11th-arrondissement-police

They just mentioned shooter still on the run.

 

[Herb Alpert]

Wow.... I hope there aren't any gaffers that did go. Glad to hear that you didn't.

I didn't go because I'm currently broke.

Fuck.

 

[Damaniel]

Holy shit, any chance this is a retaliation for Jihadi John? The timing is really suspect.

Retaliation in a country outside of the middle east would probably take more than a day to organize, especially on this scale.

Also, Periscope (at least the app) appears to be completely dead. The stream that was covering it had over 30k viewers before it died - a lot by Periscope standards. All I know is that I would have been freaking out too much to stream it, to be honest.

Stay safe, Grizzo. Don't panic though

 

[Xando]

German national team hotel had a bomb warning earlier today aswell

 

[PInk Tape]

Stay safe, France-Gaf.

RIP to those we've lost.

 

[SenkiDala]

AFP : Agence France Presse confirms at least 30 death.

Whoa.

 

[UnluckyKate]

I'm assuming they mean the concert hall.

yeah ... figured this out ...

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Sky news is saying 26 dead.

 

[DrForester]

Well A) there's absolutely nothing to link it to ISIS at this stage and B) it's way too well co-ordinated to be a spontaneous response to Jihadi John.

I don't know. They could have had crude explosives ready to go. I wouldn't rule it out so quickly.

From the reports this sounds too well planned to be an overnight reaction.

 

[King Tubby]

This is horrifying. Hope the police can get this situation under control quickly and bloodlessly as possible.

was about to post this

hooooly fuck that was loud

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Ugh. RIP to those that passed away due to this insane shit.

Assuming it is a radical Muslim attack, what they have against France is that France does not adhere to their batshit insane ideology.

Pretty much. "Live how we say or die" is never going to work well.
