Thomas Tran Dinh was at the wrong place at the wrong time on Friday, November 13 when a group of ISIS gunman stormed the Bataclan in Paris and slaughtered concertgoers at the Eagles of Death Metal concert. Dinh, who works for IBM, said it is easy to hate after what happened, but that “We have to love each other.”

The terrorists killed at least 87 people with automatic fire weapons and held hundreds more victims hostage for hours.
Dinh described the moments that he realized the concert was being attacked, and how he escaped. Dinh was in the middle of the dance floor when he head fire trucks and people starting to collapse. From the mosh pit, Dinh said he could tell shots were being fired into the crowd. After what he said was about 10 minutes, Dinh ran outside and escaped.
Dinh says he knows he cheated death and is still reeling from the events.
