A South
African graduate has shared what was going through her mind as she faced
murderous gunmen with hundreds of concert goers at Bataclan concert
hall in Paris on Friday.
Isobel
Bowdery, 22, posted the emotionally raw status on Facebook to describe
her horrific ordeal which is accompanied by a photo of the t-shirt she
wore to the concert, stained with blood.
The
former Cape Town University student thanks the many strangers that
helped her during the night from the man who she credits for saving her
life to a couple she heard exchanging loving last words.
In a
chilling admission, she said she first thought the gunmen were just an
elaborate part of the Eagles of Death Metal show, until they opened fire
'meticulously' on the helpless crowd leaving as many 80 people dead on
Friday night.
'Dozens
of people were shot right in front of me. Pools of blood filled the
floor. Cries of grown men who held their girlfriends dead bodies pierced
the small music venue,' she wrote.
Survivor
Sylvain Raballant, 42, said: 'I turn around and I see two guys with
Kalashnikovs. They were dressed normally - jeans and sneakers. At first I
thought they were shooting in the air. Then I saw people falling
over,'
As the audience gradually understood they were caught in a siege, they tried to make themselves as invisible as possible.
