Imagine the pain..... ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The carnage of the Paris attacks was so immense that dozens, maybe hundreds, of people are still searching for missing loved ones three days after the suicide bombers died, reports Emma Graham-Harrison, who is in the French capital.

Several of the bodies have not yet been identified, despite days of desperate worry about those still missing.
Our friend sent his family a selfie from the Bataclan just before the concert, said one drawn-looking 30-year-old, waiting for a friend outside an information and counselling centre for victims families.
His girlfriend got out, but we dont have any news from him.
His friend was a florist from a suburb at the end of the No 5 metro line who had come in specially for the concert. He loved rocknroll, he was a serious guy, smart, always had the best grades at school, said the man, an asset manager who asked not to be named.
Like many going into the imposing gates of the classical military school that has been pressed into service as a crisis centre, he is still hopeful they will find their friend injured but alive.
We have been to every hospital we could think of in Paris, he said. We expect to find him there. Apparently there are six or seven survivors who have still not been identified.
But as he waits for another childhood friend who has travelled across the country to join the search, he also accepts there may be bleaker news. The Red Cross told me it was so violent that some people cant be recognised, their bodies are so damaged. We have brought pictures of his tattoos.
