Trial starts over foiled Paris train attack that inspired Clint Eastwood movie
2020-11-17
[IsraelTimes] 2015 incident saw 4 US citizens, 2 of them off-duty soldiers, thwart heavily armed gunman; director on witness list.

A Moroccan man and three alleged accomplices went on trial in La Belle France Monday for an attempted terror attack on an Amsterdam-Gay Paree train five years ago that was foiled by passengers whose heroic actions were turned into a Hollywood film.

Director Clint Eastwood, 90, is on the witness list for the trial in Gay Paree, scheduled to last until December 17. It is believed his 2018 film "The 15:17 to Gay Paree" will serve as a reconstruction of the events of August 21, 2015.

#2  wrt Skarlatos v. deFazio: It's nice that it isn't necessary to quote the whole thing any longer. Everybody knows it. "good and hard".

Saw a cartoon about that time A French cop-kepi-style hat--on a subway platform telling a passenger, "It's our lowest cost security tactic."
Sign behind him reads "GIs RIDE FREE"

Got to give Eastwood credit. Traveling at his age isn't easy.
