Three Americans — two of them service members — helped foil a potentially deadly attack when they subdued a man armed with an assault rifle and other weapons on board a high-speed train bound for Paris, officials said.
Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos, and Anthony Sadler were on a train from Amsterdam to Paris on Friday when a man armed with an automatic rifle and a box cutter started attacking passengers. Sadler was visiting Stone, 23, an Air Force airman first class stationed in Portugal, and Skarlatos, 23, an Army National Guard specialist stationed in Afghanistan.
Only mistake was not tossing the SoB out the door at 250 km/h right before the train passes an overhead wiring pole. Would have saved the French the expense of locking the POS up.
I really hope this won’t lead to increased security controls or bag searches on European trains. This should be thought of as the cost of doing business, not a world-shaking event.

Their vacation was interrupted by hospital stay for one guy and they had to get the Legion d’Honneur.
Idea was fund their next quiet vacation at a place such as the La Reserve Paris overlooking the Grand Palais. They may need a big place to entertain belles dames français.
