Paris Olympics: arson attacks bring chaos to French rail network before opening ceremony | BBC News

- France’s high-speed rail network was thrown into chaos, hours before the Olympics opening ceremony in Paris, by a series of coordinated arson attacks.
The saboteurs struck away from the capital at five apparently unguarded places. France's state-owned rail company SNCF says the saboteurs vandalised or targeted five signal boxes and electricity installations.
France's TGV high-speed train services ground to a halt on major lines and stranded passengers filled the main concourses at Gare Du Nord and Gare Montparnasse, two of the major rail hubs in Paris for travellers on the main lines running north and west of the capital.
The caretaker Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said the repercussions for the rail network were massive and serious, and France's intelligence services and forces of order had been deployed to "find and punish those behind these criminal acts". It was not immediately clear who was behind the attacks.
The sabotage took place despite a massive security operation to protect the Olympics. Streets in the centre of Paris have been blocked off, metro stations closed and thousands of police, soldiers and other guards deployed to maintain security on the big showpiece day launch the Olympic Games.

I'm shocked the BBC said violent islamists
Anything to tarnish the image of Islam and Muslims. I am not surprised.
Just remember there is a cold war going on between the West and Russia.
People are getting tired of their bullshit now
If it's not the UK they'll say
Its true though
I wonder if they have all those who returned from active duty very recently under surveillance . You know… dual citizens.
Oh no! Not "delibarate sabotage"! That's the worst kind of sabotage!
😂
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
🎉🎉🎉
😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks, That cracked me up.
Opening ceremony was by itself chaotic .
Irrelevant
Just like russia
Was awful
@@Bikeaddict4235 the Russia that is about to take Chasiv Yar and new york..That Russia..?.. what the hell has the paris olympics got to do with Russia anyway?
The Olympic games of peace and fraternization of peoples became games of darkness and worship of evil entities, the Enlightenment that created the Republic, which today is controlled by left-wing radicals, sent its messages, which hate Christ, the Holy Supper represented by transsexuals it was sad. You invoked evil whoever sows reaps
After what France did to our Olympics, I don't care about their country!
The opening ceremony was painfully long - it really did drag on!
Pro palestine 😅😅
And super gay
And painfully disrespectful to christians around the world!
It really was lol@@jimcourt9164
Free the west
The opening ceremony was a disgrace.
Would they have mocked Islam the way they blatantly mocked Christianity?
No, because we all know full well what would happen 😡
Boycott the games folks!!!

Literally
Cultural enrichment incoming
Racists are so ignorant and stupid. A lot of people, are against the Olympics particularly far left groups who do sabotage like this often. Who do you think was doing sabotage against the nazis 80 years ago? Dont talk about our country if you know nothing about our history and politics. Go to therapy instead of blaming non white people and muslims for literaly everything in the world. Weirdo
😂
Third world take over...Don't go to their own rich countries, who control the hordes.
Far right extreme racists responsible, is a reasonable guess. They know that idiots on SoMe will be behind the attacks and support the terrorists.
Vatniks coming
If anyone thinks these games are going to be amazing and free from attacks are deluded.
what else are you planning?
If only there was a word derived from French to explain what has happened!
What's the word? I'm thinking but I can't figure it out 😭😭😭

BBC: "not from the amateur culprit"
Some random comments: "This must be Terrorist sabotage!"

Sabotage and not terrorism depending on the ethnicity of the perpetrator smh
A racist
@@tomhenry897Are you?
Anyone with any sense is a "racist"
Depending upon their motivation, which is currently unknown.
I mean, look up what Terrorism means perhaps. Disrupting trainlines isn't exactly a terror inducing act. I think you're just a bit racist.
Just 2 minutes and they blame Russia.
It has the biggest motive
They are banned from the Olympics and they want to make Europe look as defenceless as Russia
@@StephanieTihanyihow?
@@StephanieTihanyiand what it will be?
Russia is one of several potentially responsible parties.
It could be anyone, so many people hate this government.
I think it was last year when some of the high speed train network in Germany was disrupted by tampering of cables. If I remember correctly it happened in two different states at the same time, which is why there was no backup available. They figured it had been an inside job too, because the locations weren't common knowledge and they targeted the main and the backup.
They just blame Putin at every chance - to dilute the real root of the problems and divert public attention.
@@bibastarmedia9650 divert it from what?
@@curiositycloset2359 Many other things, including internal, you don't know?
The people in charge of the world don't tell you what is going off or how the world changes.
They would sooner bring chaos to nations like France and the UK and Europe now two nations that had very big empires that lots still remained after ww2 to there knees now.
Plus sporting events like the Olympics are nothing to do with host nations it's just globalist political reasons bs now.
The UK and empires in western Europe have given the world what it has today since the first industrial Revolution the world changed 30 years ago with the internet and technology we have today.
Basically they need to teach everyone now how the world has changed over the last 100 years and since ww2 and over the last 30 years to specially in Europe and about how the world has evolved since the first industrial Revolution and about the second third and Fourth industrial Revolution today and how things are moving forward today
They don't need to do things the way they do them today they teach you about the past better today how the world has improved they won't need to do things like this today
It's embarrassing when you see stories like this about railways in Europe because that first industrial Revolution was partly about US Brits and Europe giving railways to the world and a lot of what they have today outside of Russia.
And did you also notice that the leitmotif of the whole event called "Olympic opening" was a grandiose spit at Christianity, religion in general, culture and civilization?
At the Paris Olympics, a crowd of trans people parodied "The Last Supper" and the opening of the Olympics itself was turned into LGBT hysteria.
At the end of the 20th century, the Olympic movement was revived by the French Baron Pierre de Coubertin. At the World Exhibition of 1889 in Paris, de Coubertin began a series of congresses on physical education, four years later he made a public appeal to revive the Olympic Games.
They began in France, and they ended in France. And during the ceremonial raising of the Olympic flag, it was placed upside down, which is especially symbolic.
It was also a mockery of athletes, of their dedication and hard work. Society is in its decline bc it tolerates that kind of "art"- celebrating feasts, orgies, drugs etc. There was also a child among transvestites.
@@borishudej691 You are absolutely right.
France takes pride in mocking Christianity...
👎🤡
They were mocking god for fun huh?...Now be ready for the consequences
Lol i've been waiting for that multiple years already. God seems awfully long to react, but maybe he's just busy listening to prayers?

Russians ! Are u kidding ! The French government have damaged the games all by themselves!
Anyone with a brain 🧠 would not go anywhere near the Paris Olympic Games why was there no backup system to the rail network
There is, the problem is that it’s for slow trains. The fast trains can’t comprehend the reduction of speed
Who did that,
that’s not nice,
leave the railway alone
No it's not nice But I wouldn't speculate as who might be responsible cos that wouldn't be responsible might cause community tensions and stuff like that.

I can't believe anyone went to these Olympics.
Why ???????
I can't believe anyone went to france itself, Don't waste your time and money there
Why are countries still bankrupting themselves for this "magnificent spectacle"?
Propaganda and soft power. Putting on an extravagant display at the games is a way to show the world how rich and powerful the country is, that it has this much money to squander. A projection of power that is useful in securing trade and investment.
The Olympic games of peace and fraternization of peoples became games of darkness and worship of evil entities, the Enlightenment that created the Republic, which today is controlled by left-wing radicals, sent its messages, which hate Christ, the Holy Supper represented by transsexuals it was sad. You invoked evil whoever sows reaps
I have not and I will not watch one minute of the 2024 Olympics. It has become a dung heap.
The money would be better spent on the homeless instead of the games.
Scandalous.
😅so maybe it was done by a bunch of pissed off homeless people in protest to the scandalous games😂😂😂
The only reason anyone in Europe is homeless is mass immigration which accounts for 90% of population growth in the past 30 years.
U d9nt like sports I take it it was the homeless I heard
Someone who does not know how economy works.... Go feed your homeless without economy.....
Probably done by a fatty keyboard warrior
seems this guy is blaming on muslims . But in their religion even bad behavior is not allowed .

They are French so 1.609km.
The French done it. Disruption.
Yes, "French men". Like all the rapes
Russian agent was caught around the time boasting at a bar about a secret mission to destabilise the Olympics, safe to say who did it.
blame liberals who let them in to the country.
That profit has literally been saying that he’s been showed Paris on fire and the games of fire. The games mocked them, and now look.
How could the authorities not have anticipated something like this? Are the security agencies and forces living in the 1950s? Transportation, communications, water and food supplies……basic.
Seems we are all wide open from both columns. But apparently, we can't say who they are. Not much we can do before we can name the problem.
They all servants of monopolised capital (as we know - monopoly is a road downhill) they do what they are told to do, and it doesn't make sense for people as it makes things worse, but it makes sense for the monopolised capital.

Very impressed that the French enginees managed to start work on the problem in hours.
Can't imagine this happening in GB..Still on mechanical semaphore signals where I live, far from fibre optics
The UK still has copper cables and at one point the UK had these same problems due to copper thieves chopping them up to sell until the government required all scrap metal companies have a licence. I don't know why this is big breaking news

Yeah! Lol, a totally ridiculous statement; diversity is always a weakness. Homogeneity is always a strength unless you are Far left, then a solid, functioning society is a weakness.
@@stevemartin7464 Diversity is an excuse for those who cannot hack it in the normal world. Diversity is male going into female activities and believing they're male and vice versa. We live in a weird world nowadays amd worried that GOD may reboot the world again and hope GOD do away with DEI.

After the French parady of the sexualized "Last Supper' at Olympic openings, I have no loss of love for anything that happens there now. Really?? You just gotta do that kind of crap at the Olympics???
so what right wing group are you blaming this on? LMAO
The pro Putin type that want us to blame Muslims in order to give further legitimacy to the Europe is a fachist entity dialogue.

It's clearly Russia. This situation is similar to something that happened at a running race. Someone who worked for the event organizers secretly changed the direction signs. They did this on purpose to confuse the fastest runners. The goal was to help slower runners win instead. Their plan succeeded.
