On a more serious note, thank goodness they were on that train. This could have been a lot worse.
Three people have been hurt after a heavily armed man opened fire on a train in northern France, before being overpowered by two American passengers.
The interior minister praised the Americans, one of whom was seriously injured, as was another passenger.
The man arrested was a 26-year-old Moroccan. Anti-terrorist officers have taken over the case.
The weapons were said to include a Kalashnikov, a knife, an automatic pistol and cartridges.
French media said the arrested man was known to the intelligence services. The suspect has so far refused to talk to police in Arras.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said the incident was a "terrorist attack".
French media said the passengers who overpowered the suspect were US Marines who had heard the man loading a weapon in a toilet cubicle and confronted him when he came out.

Yep, that was really fortunate. If this guy had no one in his way it could have been really bad. You got no place to go in a train.
A long tradition.
But yes, extremely fortunate. These cars don't hold that many passengers, the likelihood of having two soldiers inside was so low...
AFAIK, the french government has not yet officially said it's "terrorism".

Wow ... brave men. Luckily they were trained and in the right spot at the right time. More people could have been hurt.
That's some scary shit tbh. Chilling on a train when you hear someone chambering 7.62 in the stall across from you.

Yeah I read that, the Dutch article mentioned it in between the lines. It's a hard time to be an actor, a German actor got him self offed by a tree branch at a festival the same day.
Just found that one of the Americans is actually stationed in my island. If I ever see him in a bar, I´m buying him a drink.

AMERICA SAVES THE DAY ONCE AGAIN
"America" didn't do shit, people did. Humans, not a flag.
If America means its government, then it alongside a few governments are responsible for the geopolitical shitstorm that's happening.
