Overview
- The ARD film Terror. Fußball. Paris 2015 – Die Nationalmannschaft im Visier is already in the ARD Mediathek and is scheduled to air on Nov. 10 at 20:15.
- Joachim Löw, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Kevin Trapp and others describe the moment explosions were heard and the shock that followed, with Löw calling the experience the worst fear a person can feel.
- Officials chose to finish the match as information was incomplete, players were not briefed at halftime, and President François Hollande and Foreign Minister Frank‑Walter Steinmeier returned to their seats to prevent panic.
- The German team spent the night on mattresses in the stadium’s corridors for safety and was flown home the next day, with players recalling sleeplessness, anxiety and flashbacks.
- The documentary situates these memories within the wider attacks that killed 130 people, including three suicide bombers outside the stadium, the later cancellation of Germany–Netherlands, and the 2022 life sentence for the main defendant.
