THIS IS MOMENT terrorists opened fire at the Bataclan theatre on Friday, the beginning of a massacre that would claim the lives of 89 people.
Uploaded to Instagram by user Seb Snow, the video shows American band Eagles of Death Metal beginning a song early in their set.
The Instagram user is filming the stage when shots are heard.
One member of the band flees the stage immediately, another guitarist seems to freeze.
The band’s drummer Julian Dorio ducks behind his drum kit.
The video ends there.
In the description, the user describes the video as:
The last notes before the gunfire. Panic and horror…
The band, who played Dublin’s Olympia Theatre just days before the attack, were all safe but their merchandise manager, 36-year-old Briton Nick Alexander, was killed.
Dorio’s wife posted a picture on Instagram on Friday confirming that the band were safe, adding “I’ve never been so grateful and so heartbroken in the same breath of air.”

We are one of the “lucky ones” who have managed to secure a place for September only a year late. If this was typical children , with a whole year of primary education lost, heads would roll. I’m so relieved we have a school place for the the upcoming September but I also feel guilt for having a place when so many others don’t. Everything about this proposal irks me but most of all the fact that they are centres and not schools. Children want to go to school. Even children with special needs.
Madigan and Foley are incompetent self serving liars who should resign.
Through section 37a of the schools admissions act which allows the ministers to compel schools to set up special classes they have had the authority to resolve this for years.
They opposed it existing, watered down the original version of the law and have underused and abused it ever since.
They do not care and this latest “I could fix it but let’s segregate you kids and deny them their right to an appropriate education just cos” proves that point.
If the solution is a short term fix, that’s ok and better than nothing.
However if it is the schools and the department messing it about that’s different altogether.
I always look to the departments to see they why things are going wrong. Most ministers read what they are handed as the reason something cannot happen or is not happening at present.
