Harrowing Moment Pregnant Woman Hangs Out of Window to Escape Paris Attack
The woman was trying to flee the concert hall that was attacked Friday.
— -- The fate of the pregnant woman who was caught on tape clinging to a second-story window sill as she tried to escape from a Paris concert venue after Friday night's deadly terror attack in Paris is now known.
The woman, who has been identified by sources to ABC News using only her first name, Charlotte, was pulled to safety by another survivor of that attack who edged over to her from another window sill. Moments earlier she pleaded for help: "Please, please," she says in French. "I'm going to fall. I'm pregnant."
Her savior has now been identified as Sebastien Besatti, a musician and journalist who was attending the Eagles of Death Metal show with a friend and who stumbled upon the woman when he was looking for a way out himself.
Besatti spoke to regional newspaper La Provence, telling them that after escaping the main part of the venue by "passing over dead bodies, wounded people, my clothes were full of blood."
He crossed from one side of the venue to another behind a curtain on the stage, leading him to a balcony where the pregnant woman was hanging on a ledge. She asked him to help pull her inside and "that's what I did."
They lost each other in the scramble to escape, but now ABC News has learned that the woman has since been able to get in touch with Besatti so that he now knows she and her unborn child survived.
At least 89 people died at the Bataclan during the attack Friday night, and at least 40 others died in the five other attacks at restaurants and a Parisian soccer stadium.
The video was recorded by a journalist in a nearby building. The journalist, Daniel Psenny, stopped recording to go help but did capture the moment when someone from inside the building is able to help pull the mother-to-be back inside as she says that she begins losing her grip.
