    What a miserable place the world can be.

    I hope not too many have died or been injured. Also hoping it wasn't on purpose although that is probably going to be proved wrong shortly as more reports immerge.

    It seems very clear, sadly, that too many have, in fact, died.

    Oh no. I hoped I'd mis-read the thread title and then that it wasn't that bad. As soon as I saw it was a big event that had been attacked, the pieces started falling into place. Now we can only hope it doesn't get any worse.

    Too many was the wrong thing to say.

    Any people dying needlessly is too many.

    The larger the number the worse it is which was what I was trying to say.

    Looks like a planned thing at the moment from the initial reports.

    The bastards realised the French authorities would have Euro 16 covered and waited for a softer target.

    France really does not deserve this.

    Could just be a rogue nut job, absolutely tragic. Just accidentally watched a video on Twitter of the aftermath and it was horrific

    Sadly I don't see how the authorities can stop an attack like this. RIP to all the victims.

    Think I might have seen the same video AFKA. I saw it before I even knew what was going on, truly horrific.
  • Just watching it on the news, that country keeps taking a kicking and it needs to stop.
  • Now up to 60 dead, horrible.

    RIP to those that lost their lives.

    Yeah I saw that before I realised how bad it could be. Those poor, poor people.

    I hate the internet and the fact it seems to give people a platform for sharing the most vile imagery and videos. Is there no common decency?

    RIP to all the victims, absolutely heartbreaking.

    The thing that upsets me the most are the people that, rather than help any victims, choose to film the aftermath so they can stick it on social media for their 15 minutes of fame.

    RIP to all the victims.

    That video is fucked. It should be taken down. Even worse, CBS and FOX News representatives are on the Twitter message trail asking for permission to use it in their forthcoming broadcasts.

    Reports now saying 60 dead, hostages taken in a hotel and a large fire broken out at the Eifel Tower.

    There's no fame involved there mate. It's just sick.

    Sky now reporting possibly 60 killed! France is really suffering lately. All it does is turn hate into more hate. Madness

    The Eiffel Tower fire, happily, looks like it's completely unrelated. Fireworks in a truck caught light. Fire now out.

    Although the pictures looked very scary.

    I guess the "toll" is going to change all night, but it's now 73.

    RIP
