Isobel Bowdery is a 22-year-old woman from Cape Town, South Africa, currently in Paris. On Saturday, November 14th, 2015, Bowdery shared on Facebook her terrifying and heartbreaking account of being inside the Bataclan music venue on Friday night when more than 82 people were killed by gunmen.
In the post, Bowdery writes that when the gunfire first started, she thought it was just part of the show. “You never think it will happen to you. It was just a Friday night at a rock show. The atmosphere was so happy and everyone was dancing and smiling. And then when the men came through the front entrance and began the shooting, we naively believed it was all part of the show. It wasn’t just a terrorist attack, it was a massacre(屠杀). Dozens of people were shot right in front of me. Pools of blood filled the floor.”
She says she lay down on the floor of the club for over an hour, pretending to be dead and trying not to breathe. “Shocked and alone, I pretended to be dead for over an hour, lying among people who could see their loved ones motionless. Holding my breath, trying not to move, not to cry — not to give those men the fear they longed to see. I was incredibly lucky to survive. But so many didn’t. The people who had been there for the exact same reasons as I — to have a fun Friday night were innocent. This world is cruel. And acts like this are supposed to highlight the depravity of humans and the images of those men hunting us will haunt me for the rest of my life. I expected any moment for someone to say it was just a nightmare.”
Bowdery also describes the heroes of the night: the strangers who helped her, the friend who bought her new clothes so she wouldn’t have to wear her blood stained top.
She concludes: “It is up to us to be better people. To live lives that the innocent victims of this tragedy dreamt about but sadly will now never be able to fulfill.”
