The Terror supplanted the football that evening. Not at one stroke. Only gradually pushed the Stade de France, the certainty in the foreground that zuträgt next to Place terrible. Until only remained pure horror.
“About the Sport there’s nothing to tell,” said Germany coach Joachim Loew after the game in the ARD. As in the 20th minute a violent bang had shook the stadium leave, he thought equal to a stop. “It was very, very loud.”
Because of the bomb threat in the Team Hotel from noon was obvious to Löw, that something was wrong. “We were terrified I could imagine me, what will be the..”
And yet: Many want to believe in a particularly loud firecrackers, the game continues to run, even after a second through the stadium thunderous explosion intervenes nobody, nobody whistles from. The routine helps to maintain composure.
Only in the official gallery with French President François Hollande and German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier takes the trouble to. Jérôme Boateng reads during halftime in the cabin on his cell phone, that there is probably dead in the city. Without him, and without the state guests in the stands, the second half is under way. The fans get on their smartphones slowly that the city is under fire
4 dead, 12 dead, 16 dead:. With the match minute number of terror victims rises in Paris. ARD commentator Tom Bartels struggling for composure, explained that it was him in this situation, hardly possible to follow the game. Bartels classifies, makes professionally clear that what is happening now is no longer relevant in the square.
The French cheer even the 2: 0, as the world becomes clear that there is an attack on Paris runs. At least three explosions, multiple shootings, shots of cars on cafes, first reports of a major hostage-taking. Then the final whistle.
The stadium begins to empty. From the total all acts ordered. But suddenly panic breaks out. The masses are pushing back, because it is closely in front of the arena, some rush on the stairs, men, women and children are running with fear, eyes wide onto the grass and spread there – to some relaxation occurs.
While there is war at the gates of the Stade France, people gather to consider how it can go. The stadium is considered to be relatively safe. Since the murderous attack on Charlie Hebdo, the authorities expect in Paris for the worst and secure venues sharply.
Slowly, people take refuge in the streets. The national team is still waiting out in the catacombs. Also for the presenters, there is a not-to-master situation to deal with. ARD expert Mehmet Scholl tells us that he has reached his loved ones back home. He is doing well so far. How he wants to get out of the city, colleague Matthias Opdenhövel asks him and would probably like to know for yourself also. “I’ve never made me any thoughts. I see the images, and somehow everything is surreal, “says Scholl. One hour after Apfiff, at 23.45 clock, comes a new message. At least 60 victims should be there now. Meanwhile, Francois Hollande, who was just still sitting on the seats of honor, proclaimed a state of emergency.
