VIDEO The moment an explosion echoed through the Stade de France

While France and Germany were playing a friendly match at the Stade de France last night, drama with tragic consequences unfolded near the stadium. Several explosions were heard in terrorist attacks that claimed numerous lives, and which could be clearly heard at the stadium as well, reports the Patria News Agency.

At one point, a loud bang is clearly heard, which was recorded on television footage, and the reaction of the audience can also be heard, who were probably not aware of the tragedy nearby at that moment.

Immediately after the explosion, French President Francois Hollande was evacuated from the national stadium, and after the match, the police kept the fans inside the stadium until they assessed the situation on the streets as safe.
