A mobile phone may have saved a man’s life in
Friday’s deadly terror attacks in Paris, which left
a death toll of 129 people and more than 350
people wounded.
The survivor, who was identified as Sylvestre,
was in France’s national Stadium during the
assaults. While fleeing the stadium, Sylvestre
was holding his phone to his ear.
“Here’s the cellphone that took the hit, that
saved me, otherwise my head would have been
busted,” Sylvestre said.
Sylvestre was shot in the foot and the ribcage as
well, but the fatal head shot was stopped by his
phone.
However, the US Army Threat Integration Center
think that Sylvestre’s phone may have been hit
by a ball bearing from an explosive belt. Analysis
further found that the ball bearing may have lost
some of its velocity when it hit the phone.
Paris’ chief prosecutor Francois Molins said
seven attackers had been killed, who were all
armed and wearing explosive belts. Prime
Minister Manuel Valls said France will execute
air strikes against IS in Syria in response.
