'Buried under' - Bataclan survivor's story

Theresa Cede, who was in the audience at the Bataclan, recounted the horror of Friday's attack. She told BBC Radio 5live: "There were grenades, or one grenade at least that I know of. Body parts flying around, people shouting, screaming.

"But then, you know, at the moment, like, everybody who could would become as quiet as possible, just not to move. And it lasted a lifetime or an eternity. It was like, probably an hour. 

"I got more or less buried under a man who was shot in the head next to me. And so I was underneath him. And from there nobody moved. 

"Then we heard terrorists who were shouting, Syria was in it. And then... mostly it was: "Stay down, don't move, we'll shoot you.' 

"But then they shot anyway. I was thinking to myself, is it going to be me next? That's what went through my head.”
