A man down, unconscious. Passengers neutralized Ayoub El Khazzani. Heavily armed, he had opened fire on the passengers of a Thalys train from Amsterdam to Paris Friday, August 21.
What has happened? It is a little less than 18 hours when man locks himself in the bathroom and comes out brandishing a Kalashnikov. A French passenger tries in vain to disarm. More later in the wagon, two Americans throw themselves on him. “ I am told that the passengers were going to react and that this was perhaps our only chance to survive together ” tells Chris Norman, a passenger on the Thalys. Through this intervention, travelers have certainly avoided bloodshed.
Friday, August 21, in Arras train station, the police seized a Kalashnikov and the handgun of suspect. They also found his backpack containing a cutter and nine chargers or 300 balls in total. Supported by the emergency, passengers were aware of having escaped the worst: “ I have seen many people squat, I slipped under my seat too (…) “recalls a young girl. The passenger seriously hit in the neck is still hospitalized but his days are not in danger.
