Last Friday, during an Eagles of Death Metal concert, coordinated ISIS/IS/ISIL terrorist attacks claimed more than 100 lives in Paris at the Bataclan Concert Hall and the surrounding area. The attacks included both suicide bombings and men armed with AK-47 rifles and explosive vests. Below, you will find three video clips of the grisly carnage and panic released after the senseless tragedy. Be warned, it is graphic and disturbing footage.
Suicide bombers targeted both the Bataclan concert hall, where Eagles of Death Metal were playing, and the Stade de France stadium. President Francoise Hollande was enjoying a soccer match at the stadium during the attacks. At the same time as the bombing attacks, AK-47 machine guns were used to spray the outside of restaurants in a hale of deadly gunfire. The bombers who went to the concert hall also carried AK-47's.
While the bombing at Bataclan was a devastating success, security was able to stop the bombers at the Stade de France stadium. New York Daily News reports that the brother of band drummer, Julian Dorio said, “They didn’t see the gunmen but, ... they saw and heard [shots] and bolted toward the back.”
Daily Mail interviewed one of the unfortunate bystanders, Hanna Corbett, who said, "It was towards the end of the gig and we heard what sounded like firecrackers or fireworks. Everyone thought it was part of the show, but then I saw the lead singer's face drop before he ran off stage and the lights came on."
