(Radio France) Friday’s witnesses came from Los Angeles, from Turkey, from the central French Nièvre region. And, as from the start of the witness testimony, all the stories from the Bataclan survivors and their families are the same. And each is absolutely different.
The woman from Los Angeles lost her brother at the Bataclan. She was 10,000 kilometres away and in a different world when the news came through.
“How could such a thing happen at a rock concert, in Paris?”
She spoke of the difficulty of finding reliable information when you live in a different time zone of the global village; then of the day the family was given the body to bury, her parents crying for their dead child. “You can’t imagine what that was like!”
