  • American witnesses arrive to give evidence at trial over foiled Paris train attack

    On the 5th day of the trial over the foiled Paris train attack in August 2015, Anthony Sadler and Aleksander Skarlatos, two of the three Americans whose heroic intervention stopped assailant Ayoub El Khazzani, arrive at the Palais de Justice in Paris to give evidence. Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood made the 2018 film "The 15:17 to Paris" about the events of August 21, 2015 and had even been listed as a possible witness in the trial but will in the end not have to give testimony.

  • Une attaque MASSIVE paralyse la SNCF #shorts

    À la suite d’une attaque coordonnée des installations de plusieurs lignes à grandes vitesses, le trafic des TGV est fortement perturbé. Les perturbations vont s’étendre sur le week-end entier. 800 000 voyageurs sont concernés d’après la SNCF. Plusieurs lignes TGV ont subi des attaques malveillantes un peu avant 6h du matin ce 26 juillet 2024. Il ne s’agit pas d’une cyberattaque, mais d’incendies visant les installations de plusieurs lignes à grandes vitesses. À la veille d’un grand week-end de départs et retours de vacances et à quelques heures de la cérémonie d’ouverture des Jeux Olympiques, les conséquences vont être lourdes pour l’ensemble des voyageurs qui avaient prévu de prendre le train sur plusieurs axes. D’ailleurs, la SNCF invite les voyageurs à « reporter leur voyage et de ne pas se rendre en gare ». La circulation des TGV est ainsi fortement dégradée sur les axes Atlantique, Nord et Est de la France. De nombreux trains vont être supprimés tout au long du week-end. Le retour à la normale n’est pas prévu avant lundi 29 juillet, selon la SNCF.
