Paris attack videos: Boy's chat goes viral

Angel Le and his son, Brandon, were visiting the memorial site outside the Bataclan Theatre in Paris when a reporter asked the little boy if he understood what took place.

Standing alongside his kneeling father, Brandon tells the reporter from 'Le Petit Journal', that “bad guys are not very nice.”

The little boy then tells the reporter about his concern of being really careful and “changing houses.”

“France is our home,” he said in the video.

“But there’s bad guys daddy,” the little boy replies.

His father is quick to comfort his son and tells him “they might have guns, but we have flowers.”

Pregnant woman hangs from Bataclan

A man called Sebastien rescued a pregnant woman hanging from a Bataclan window, pulling her to safety from the ledge of the venue after the Daesh gunmen struck on Friday.

Details about how the pregnant woman survived the Daesh terror attack were revealed last night. The 'Sunday People' exclusively revealed how she was heard crying “Help me, help me I'm pregnant I'm pregnant.”

Sebastien - who pulled her to safety – says, “In front of me there were two windows. “In one of them a pregnant woman was hanging – she was begging people below to catch her if she jumped down as it was chaos.”

Clinging on to a balcony and screaming for her life as gunmen roamed the corridors of the Bataclan music hall, the unnamed pregnant woman has become a symbol of the tragedy.

For the first time one of the survivors has revealed the dramatic moment.

The man, known only as Sebastian, pulled the woman from the window ledge as three armed Daesh (IS) suicide bombers roamed corridors picking off targets one by one.

Panic, fear, chaos, death

A French survivor of the rampage at Paris' Bataclan concert hall says he was struck by how young the attackers were.

Julien Pearce, journalist at Europe 1 radio, was at the Bataclan concert hall on Friday to attend the concert by the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal. He said when the three attackers stormed in "it took me few seconds to realise it was gunshots."

Pearce and his friends immediately got down on the ground to avoid the random shots, then ran and crawled into a tiny dark room next to the stage. He says "there was no exit, so we were just in another trap, less exposed, but still a trap."

Pearce said could discreetly look out and see one of the assailants. He says "he seemed very young. That's what struck me, his childish face, very determined, cold, calm, frightening."

Once the attackers reloaded, his group ran across the stage to the emergency exit, helping a wounded woman out. Looking back, he saw "dozens and dozens of entangled, bullet-riddled bodies in a pool of blood."

Survivor of concert massacre recounts moment of doom

It was to be an evening of fun, watching an American rock group with some friends.

Instead, it became a nightmare in which his life hung by a thread, his fate determined by killers with Kalashnikovs and explosives.

David, 23, had gone to the Bataclan, a 1,500-seat concert hall in the heart of Paris, with four friends for a Friday night gig by the Eagles of Death Metal.

He was watching from the first floor when at 9.45pm -- "just when it was shaping up to be a really neat concert" -- he heard a series of popping sounds.

"I thought, that sounds a lot like a Kalashnikov," said David. "I used to play Counter-Strike," an online game which features gun-wielding terrorists.

Initially, he thought it was a wacky stunt by the band, but that thought evaporated.

"I looked down at the stalls and saw people being killed, and then I smelt the powder -- I realised that it was an attack, and I shouted at everyone to take cover."

He began to hunt for an exit, only to come across a dead end -- but it had a window.

Desperate, he and others climbed out, and hung from the ledge some seven metres (25 feet) above the streets of Paris -- a scene that was captured on mobile phone by a Le Monde journalist and is now viral on the Internet.

Grotesque show

A gunman forced them back into the building, where they were made to watch a macabre spectacle.

"He made us take our seats while another guy down on the floor continued to fire into the crowd, slaughtering people. For five minutes, the gunmen next to us tried to boost our confidence. Then there was a huge explosion."

David, who spoke to AFP on Sunday on condition of anonymity, recalled his feelings of anguish.

"It was horrible, dreadful to feel so trapped -- there was a bloodbath unfolding. They were killing everyone."

With the initial assault now turning into a massacre, French security forces intervened, firstly using a hostage negotiator to seek a truce, then sending in an assault team.

There was a huge flash of light and an enormous explosion, the heat of which singed ‘several centimetres’  off David's hair in what he believed was the moment when the attackers detonated suicide vests.

He crawled outside to safety, where police were waiting, and eventually found his friends. One of them, Laure -- her name has been changed for the interview -- had been on the ground floor "and hid among the bodies to survive. It's a miracle."

Eighty-nine people were killed in the Bataclan, the deadliest site in the coordinated attacks in Paris where at least 129 people were slain.

Today, after reassuring friends and family that he survived, David looks back on those dreadful moments of ‘impotence and rage.’

"You cannot imagine how powerless you feel. If I had had a gun, I would have opened fire, rather than sit in front of a window waiting for death to arrive."

Bataclan survivor escapes gunman at concert

Three Chileans were among more than 80 people killed at a rock concert targeted in the Paris attacks, while a fourth described Saturday how a gunman pointed right at him before letting him go.

David Fritz Goettinger, 23, described how he escaped with his life at the historic concert hall after going to the toilet and then telling a gunman that he was Chilean and not French.

"The terrorists got there and opened fire all over the place," Fritz Goettinger told Chilevision from Paris, where he lives.

"It was kind of like an earthquake, they were firing all over the place, there were explosions and shots."

"I'd gone to the bathroom and I came out and could tell something bad happened," he said. "The music from the show had stopped so I went to talk with my friend and ask what happened. And then I saw dead people."

A gunman pointed directly at him but did not fire, Goettinger added.

He told police he was asked by one of the gunmen if he believed in God, and he said he did. He was asked if he was French, and he said he was Chilean.

He was let go. "So then we hid, first we crawled along the floor to find somewhere to hide, and I got stuck somewhere on the second floor," he recalled, adding: "I'm tired. I am in shock."

Terrified survivors from the Paris concert hall targeted during Friday's attacks have described running over bodies and hiding after gunmen stormed the venue and began executing rock fans with barrages of automatic gunfire.
 
Pierre Janaszak, a radio presenter, was sitting in the balcony with his sister and friends when they heard shots from below about one hour into the concert by US rock band Eagles of Death Metal.
 
"At first we thought it was part of the show but we quickly understood," he told AFP.
 
"They didn't stop firing. There was blood everywhere, corpses everywhere. We heard screaming. Everyone was trying to flee."
Janaszak and his friends hid in a toilet where they would spend the next two hours waiting for police to storm the building and rescue the survivors.
 
"They had 20 hostages, and we could hear them talking with them," said Janaszak.
 
"I clearly heard them say 'It's the fault of Hollande, it's the fault of your president, he should not have intervened in Syria'. They also spoke about Iraq."
 
'10 horrific minutes'
 
Another radio reporter described the "10 horrific minutes" when the black-clothed gunmen calmly opened fire.
 
"It was a bloodbath," Julien Pearce, a reporter for France's Europe 1 radio station, told CNN."
 
People yelled, screamed and everybody lying on the floor, and it lasted for 10 minutes, 10 minutes, 10 horrific minutes where everybody was on the floor covering their heads."
 
"We heard so many gunshots and the terrorists were very calm, very determined and they reloaded three or four times."

"People started to try to escape, to walk on people on the floor and try to find the exits, and I found an exit when the terrorists reloaded their guns. I climbed on the stage and we found an exit," said Pearce.
 
The journalist said he took a teenage girl who was bleeding heavily and carried her to a taxi, telling the driver to take her to hospital.
 
He said he saw the face of one gunman, who was probably 20 to 25 years old.
 
"We heard people screaming - the hostages particularly - and the threats from the kidnappers shouting 'Look at me!'" added another survivor, 34-year-old Charles.
 
Along with around 20 others, he fled to a toilet where they pushed through the ceiling and hid in the crawl space. But Charles refuses to be cowed by the terror he experienced.
 
"Life goes on. We won't give in to fear.
 
"I'm going to a concert on Tuesday. Keep rocking!"
 
A missing fiancee
 
But others face an agonising wait to hear from loved ones lost during the chaos.

"My friend Claire was celebrating her best friend's birthday at the concert. We don't have any news, the phones are going to answer machine," said Yvan Pokossy, a 24-year-old party organiser.
 
"I'm supposed to get engaged to her in three weeks. I don't know if I'll ever see her again."

Marielle Timme hid in a bathroom for close to three hours before being rescued by police.

At least 120 people were killed in a series of terror attacks in Paris on November 13 according to a provisional total, a source close to the investigation said. (AFP)

"What scared us the most was that the last terrorist was killed just near us so we heard all the conversation and gunfire. The bombs, too. We didn't dare open the door to the police, because we didn't know if it was them or the terrorists."
 
"There's nothing but the sound of gunfire and carnage running through my head," said another young woman who hid in a side room with around 25 people.
"We had one chance in two of taking a bullet," she said, shaking.
 
French seek shelter on social media
 
French people took to social media to find friends and relatives, search for shelter and tell the world they were safe on Saturday, after a wave of attacks across Paris left 120 people dead.
 
Internet users posted poignant appeals on Twitter to find their loved ones who had been at the scenes of the bloodshed, including at the Stade de France stadium and a rock gig at the Bataclan theatre.
 
"If anyone has news of Lola, aged 17, at #Bataclan this evening, contact us," read one post, while another expressed concern for a friend Thibault, who was also at the concert. "He's not getting back to me: help me", it read.
 
Other Twitter feeds remained ominously silent after announcing the start of the concert at the Bataclan concert hall, where at least 82 people were later killed by gunmen wielding AK47s.
 
Thousands of Parisians used the hashtag #PorteOuverte (open door) to organise places to stay for people who had been left stranded -- particularly in areas that had been attacked.
 
The hashtag was re-posted 480,000 times as the hours passed with the city on lock down, making it the second-most used keyword on Twitter in France after #fusillade (shooting) which was used 700,000 times.
 
"If people are stranded, I can accommodate two of three people on Rue des Martyrs," offered one user, while WroteGabDeLioncourt said: "Our sofa is always available for two/three people in Maraichers".
 
Others set up an emergency website "porteouverte.eu" to help people find temporary shelter.
Meanwhile, Facebook launched a "Paris Terror Attacks" check-in feature to let people signal whether they were out of harm's way, then notify their connections on the social networking site.
 
"Quickly find and connect with friends in the area," a message from the Facebook Safety Check service read. "Mark them safe if you know they're OK."
 
American Airlines delays flights to Paris
 
American Airlines Group, the world's biggest carrier by passenger traffic, said on Friday it was delaying flights to Paris in response to the explosions and shooting attacks there, even though French airports remained open.

"Currently Charles de Gaulle International Airport is open, however, we are holding our remaining departures this evening to Paris until we have additional information," American Airlines spokesman Joshua Freed said.
 
United Continental Holdings said its three scheduled flights would still depart for Paris on Friday evening from hubs in Chicago, Newark and Washington, D.C. "We're operating our schedule as planned," spokesman Charles Hobart said.
 
A Delta Air Lines Inc spokesman said that its flights were operating normally between the United States and Charles de Gaulle. He said Delta was in touch with its partners, Air France KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, and was "not aware of any changes to their operations."
 
A spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration said the agency was "following the situation closely and remains in close contact with our security and law enforcement partners."
 
"The agency is prepared to act quickly in the event action is warranted," she said.
 
The French foreign ministry said airports would remain open, and flights and train service would continue.
