Football.... France against Germany

Multiple attacks in Paris tonight.First Petit Cambodge restaurant, then Bataclan club, + explosions outside Stade de France. Game continues!

Craziest thing is that this damn football match France-Germany continues while Paris seems to be burning. This feels like the Heysel

I quite agree that match has to go on because unsafe for people to leave stadium. My point is that it feels sick to be watching football now

Many people have left stadium. I'm not sure whether they will be allowed to go out onto streets and train

People are being allowed to leave stadium through certain gates - others closed. meanwhile CNN reports that at least 18 people dead in Paris

Fans at Stade de France have invaded the pitch post-match, now standing around on the field, very quiet not rowdy - scared to leave stadium?
 
Paris is 6hours ahead so it is 11:18 pm there

DH went out for :toastred: and munchies for TV viewing tonight. He called to tell me to turn on CNN for the Breaking News in Paris. After Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions, it will be CNN instead of a movie. Terrorist attack? :eek:

'Gunmen shouted Allah Akbar'

Louis, inside the Bataclan, told France Info radio the men opened fire and shouted "Allah Akbar".

He only saw silhouettes. He said:
The men came in and started shooting. Everyone fell to the ground. It was hell.
I took my mum, and we hid. Someone near us said they have gone, so we ran out. I was only thinking of escaping.
We're out now. I think people are still inside.
It's a nightmare - a nightmare.

Bloodshed of random innocents for the bloodshed of the personification of evil and a single terrorist/mass murderer.

The insanity continues.
