A deadly terrorist attack on Paris rocked the entire globe on Friday, including the sporting world.

An international friendly was being played at the Stade de France in Paris between France and Germany at the time that the attack was taking place within the city. Someone recording a Vine captured what seems to be the sound of an explosion during the middle of play.

Fans later flooded the pitch in an effort to stay safe from the chaos outside the stadium. AFP reports that one of the explosions near the Stade de France was caused by a suicide bomber.
