Those two US servicemen must have relished the opportunity to punch that terrorist into a state of unconsciousness.:ok: Lots of long overdue pay back there..:D
I wonder how many of us would be sufficiently switched on to take instant action as these guys did? I'd like to think the majority of us - but I'm not so sure.
How long will it be before before the ticketing and boarding process for high speed trains mimics that for aviation?

Well deserved :D:D:D

France train shooting: Hollande awards Legion d'honneur - BBC News

The thread on Jet Blast has some reference to a fellow who lives in France also involved, who ended up taking a bullet for doing that good thing. Nice job sir.

And a few other folk. Various European news media report that that the first person to attempt to neutralise the gunman was a french banker who requested anonymity, and who will be awarded the Légion d'honneur in a private ceremony.

Maximum respect for all involved from discussions in my local Tabac/Bar and complete agreement that the Distinction of the Légion d'honneur is very well deserved.

I expect the French Authorities will soon find a cure for his "homelessness"
