Powerful banger goes off outside Marseille bar as French fans sing national anthem
- 8 years ago
Footage of an unpleasantly loud banger going off outside a bar in Marseille, France, scaring members of the crowd as they sung the French national anthem.
The video, filmed before France's Euro 2016 clash with Albania on Wednesday, shows fans gathered around a TV in the city's port singing La Marseillaise when the firework goes off, frightening some people.
The filmer later wrote online: "Given what had happened in Marseille a few days earlier with the Russians, and given the tense security situation in France, it was not a clever thing to do.
"Bangers are obviously largely harmless, but that kind of thing puts people on edge."
