Thanks to Hollywood and Kollywood – we have seen this many a times – a bomb is likely to go off – the timer is running out – only a few seconds left. The hero picks up the arm from the hidden place – everyone is tense, with sweat running profusely – he has the option of life to make – whether to cut the red or blue wire – he dallies with option and with a swift motion cuts off the wire – the bomb is defused Or he would throw it away into the sand or sea – saving hundreds of people ! – that one decision on clipping the tangled wire evades catastrophe.
Real
life commandos are far superior – they are man of iron strong body with
remarkably cool thinking brains ! ~ the man you can see in the photo is no
Police cop nor trained commando – actually a nurse trying CPR !!
On
the evening of 13 November 2015, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks,
consisting of mass shootings, suicide bombings, and hostage-taking, occurred in
Paris, the capital of France, and its northern suburb, Saint-Denis. There reportedly were three suicide bombings
outside the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, along with another suicide bombing
and a series of mass shootings at four locations in Paris. The attackers killed
130 people,cincluding 89 at the Bataclan theatre, where they took hostages
before engaging in a three-hour stand-off with police. The attacks were the
deadliest on France since World War II, and the deadliest in the European Union
since the Madrid train bombings in 2004.
There are reports of swift reprisal, raid on places where culprits could
have been hiding and more – while the World condemns the shameless killings.
This post
is different – neither the gory details of killings nor the swift retaliation –
but that of a nurse. Incredible footage
has emerged from the Paris attacks showing the moment a Parisian nurse tried to
save the life of a man who was badly injured in the cafe attack only to realise
that he was the suicide bomber.
The nurse, who
called himself David, said he instinctively sought to help the wounded in the
chaos of the explosion at the Comptoir Voltaire cafe. David, who works at a
hospital in Paris, tried to save the bomber Brahim Abdeslam, who was lying unconscious amid the overturned chairs. Here is the same reproduced from MailOnline.
David, a Parisian nurse, has
described the moment he tried to save the life of a man who was badly injured
in the Paris attacks only to realise that he was the suicide bomber. David, who
works at a hospital in Paris, found the man, lying unconscious amid overturned chairs but
he did not appear to have massive injuries. Near them, another person lies
wounded on the floor amid spatters of blood from the deadly blast. 'There was a
huge flame, there was dust. I immediately thought it was the heaters. I
screamed, 'cut off the gas', he said, recalling the nightmare evening.
Initially he thought the
explosion may have been caused by a gas leak but his fears worsened as 'people
started running out.' His nursing training kicked in and David, 46, began CPR
to try and revive the injured man for a few minutes before making the shocking
discovery. It was only when he tore open the man's t-shirt did he realise that
what he initially thought was a gas explosion at the cafe close to the Bataclan
music hall, was actually something far worse.
'There were wires; one white,
one black, one red and one orange. Four different colours. I knew then he was a
suicide bomber,' he told Reuters. The
man David was trying to resuscitate was Brahim Abdeslam, one of the eight
terrorists involved in the series of deadly attacks that killed 130 people at
the Stade de France, cafes, restaurants and a music hall. 'He had a large opening on his side, about 30
cms,' he said. 'When you lift a t-shirt and you see wires, you know that's not
normal.' David says police told him that Abdeslam's bomb had not fully
exploded. '(Later), I was thinking about how I lay him on the floor, with me doing
CPR. It's a pretty vigourous process. By just doing that, I also could have
been gone,' he said.
'The first wire I saw was red. I
think that was the detonator. There was something at the end,' David said. Just
after he realised the person he was trying to save had just tried to kill him,
the fire services arrived, David said. Among them was a fireman he knew. He
told him what he had just seen. 'He looked at me and started shouting for
everyone to evacuate,' said David.
The terror alert comes as authorities
across Europe try to determine how a network of primarily French and Belgian
attackers carried out the deadly attacks in Paris. Brussels was home to the
suspected organizer of the November 13 Paris attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who
was killed in a dramatic police shootout at a flat in the suburb of Paris
during a police raid on Wednesday morning. He died alongside Hasna Ait
Boulahcen, 26 - she was originally thought to have blown herself up in the
Saint Denis gun siege, but was actually killed when another member of the
Islamic cell let off a bomb, according to a source within the French
police.
