Today Was Not A Good Day, Part Three: Paris Terrorist Attack Rattles Soccer Match

At least 40 dead (ESPN's report on what I am about to tell you about puts the minimum at 150!), and probably more than 100 once it all gets totalled, in a series of Muslim-led terror attacks across Paris, in retaliation for European cooperation in anti-ISIS efforts in Syria.

One of the scarier scenes was at a friendly soccer match, France vs. Germany, when, in the twentieth minute, this was heard:


The stadium was a target, also because the President of France was at the game.  The match was allowed to complete, even so!  The pitch, soon afterward, was flooded with spectators, as certain exits were forbidden and the fans were only let out in small groups.
