Paris Film Footage

[nailit]

Why isnt there any film footage from inside the Eagles of Death concert venue last night at the Bataclan? A rock concert, where many would be filming it on their phones and there isnt any footage on social (or news) media from the time the attackers struck??? Seems a bit odd to me given how quick things are posted online nowadays.
Or perhaps there is and i cant find it,
thanks.

I await your answer. Were you there at the aftermath of that car bomb in Notting Hill and if so in what capacity? I do recall some civilian gibbering idiots who were obviously suffering from shock and were ushered into ambulances for remedial treatment. Where you one of those? If so I am truly sorry that modern medicine couldn't assist you after 40 odd years. :-(

Back in the days before digital technology, there was no blurring of sensitive parts of the image and, if anything, the BBC erred on the side of unexpurgated coverage for maximum shock value.

I'm not sure what bomb aftermath it was I saw but you could see a policeman cleaning up the body parts with a broom and I have had great sympathy for what they have to face, ever since. It would be unbroadcastable by today's soft standards.

For what it's worth, I was probably too young to mentally process what I was seeing (mid teens?) and it was a buried memory until less than a year ago. My memory is too fuzzy to say if it was in the 9 o'clock news but not the 6 o'clock or if they thoughtlessly put it out straight after The Magic Roundabout.

Probably straight after 6 o'clock Magic Roundabout and Pussy Cat Willum.
Kids were spunkier in those days. Am I allowed to say that ? :-)

Oh we did laugh, when 1970s American import TV shows used our quaint British slang for sperm in a context where the word 'gutsy' seemed to be called for.

Are you sure you're British?

No. I am not sure that I am actually. Probably not. More Prussian/Germanic according to my family tree.
I know who my mother and father were. Can you make the same boast?

Talbot, I didn't read all the posts as I tend to start glossing over them when they go off topic and sometimes miss the relevant ones.

Well the next thread, complaining about immigrants could be fun. It has been said that recent immigrants are actually the worst for being larey (sp?) about fresh waves of migrants. "They got theirs" (tm) and resent added competion for the juicier job prospects.

My parents are still physically able to send you their regards. Whether they are even aware of AB or not (and thus your persona) I have no idea.
