Paris attacks and TEB

Paris is currently under siege. Will this affect TEB events tomorrow for safety concerns? Bordeaux is a couple of hours away from Paris, but I'm assuming France will be on high security alert and lockdown tomorrow.

Paris is currently under siege. Will this affect TEB events tmrw? Bordeaux is a couple of hours away from Paris, but I'm assuming France will be on high security alert and lockdown tmrw.

I'm thinking so as well.

Thoughts with the people of France, hope the hostage situation are just rumours.

Maybe TEB will be suspended, it will be understandable, hope all the skaters remain safe.

I've started a thread to talk about the tragic events themselves here.

President of France just closed their borders.

 

[TheGrandSophy]

State of emergency across all France called by President Hollande. All borders closed.

 

[cruzceleste]

State of Emergency is declared across France

 

[Serious Business]

French President Hollande has just announced it's closing its borders. This may affect skaters, their teams, and people who traveled to TEB from leaving after the second day of competition.

 

[Mia29]

42 dead according to the police (60 according to journalists). At least 50 injured in an absolute emergency

 

[dorispulaski]

I am so sad to hear this. I hope all French Golden Skate members and their families are safe. Prayers for all those in France today.

Oh wao, am watching it on the news and it never even dawned on me! This is so sad and outrageous! I am beyond speechless at such senseless disregard for life! I can't even begin to voice my annoyance! I am praying it ends soon and the hostages released!
