In keeping up with the Inquest into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales accident on August 31, 1997 at about midnight at the Pont de Alma Tunnel in Paris, the eye witnesses in Paris, via a video phone from a Paris Court, told their accounts of what they saw to the English jury.
Their accounts dispel the fact that the Mercedes carrying Princess Diana was in a high speed chase, by a motorcycle, and a host of vehicles, all dark, except one white one.
The strange thing is, the vehicles were seen by several eye witnesses as speeding into, and through the tunnel. Some saw and or heard the vehicles collide into Diana's Mercedes, before Diana's Mercedes crashed into the thirteenth pillar inside the tunnel.
Some witnesses, have seen the motor bike flee from the accident, and others were terrified that Paris had been attacked by terrorists, because the commotion was like a movie. The French Inquisition had not pursued charges against the paparazzi due to the fact the paparazzi were understood to have veered off long before the accident. But at least ten eye witnesses in Paris, say thats not so.
Paris under a terrorist attack? Antonio Lopes-Borges and his passenger Ana Simao, said moments after the crash, they saw two camera men, who were physically standing on the crashed Mercedes in the Pont de Alma tunnel taking pictures. The site frightened them, as there was so much commotion that Antonio thought Paris was under another terrorist attack, which Paris has suffered attacks, and one terroist attack was recent to that event.
Ana Simao had thought that a movie was being made. Mr. Lopes-Borges said that three or four dark colored cars, and one white 4x4, which had bumped his vehicle at a traffic light, while they were chasing the black Mercedes, at the same speed, but when he got to the tunnel the vehicles were gone. The witnesses also reported that the camera men, made no attempt to help the victims in the car. (Oct 10th)
Next, the jury was shown the pictures that were taken by the photographers. The photos were of Diana's face, and were very very unpleasant to see, as she lay there dying. (Oct 11)
Feared witnessed hitmen.
Another witness, who saw the accident through his rear view mirror, Francois Levistre said he saw a motor bike overtake the black Mercedes in the tunnel. He and his wife were driving infront of the black Mercedes, and saw a bright flash, and heard the motorbikes motor. He saw Diana's Mercedes veer from side to side, and then it turned around. He and his wife saw the motorcyclist passenger get off the bike, and look inside the Mercedes, he waved to the driver of the bike, and they rode off. The eye witnesses, didn't get out of their car, but they did stop for about five minutes. When asked why they didn't get out, they said they thought they were hitmen. (Oct 15th)
Saw two cars racing side-by-side into the tunnel. Jean-Claude Catheline and his wife Annick, were walking by the tunnel on route to their car, with their daughter and son-in-law, after seeing the Eiffel Tower, just moments before the accident, and said they saw two cars drive into the tunnel side-by-side. They heard two distinct sounds. A sound which was like body work scraping, then moments later they heard tires screeching, and a crash. Mrs Catheline said, it sounded like two cars banged into each other, and her son-in-law recalled that the cars were going very fast, the engines in the two racing cars were loud, and he thought they were crazy or something.
Other witnesses said they believe they saw the Mercedes suffer a bump from a large dark car.
First on the scene to help.
James Huth, was at his parents who live on the banks of the River Seine, above the Pont de l'Alma Tunnel. He heard screeching tires, and he was clear there were two crash sounds. He was at the tunnel within two minutes, and bypassed a pedestrian strong handling a photographer, trying to take his camera, telling him that its not right to take pictures. He immediately called the paramedics, but had only told them there were three passengers, and one survivor, as Diana was hidden beneath Dodis body. The body guard was struggling to get up and Mr. Huth, did all he could to calm him down until help arrived. (Oct 16th)
Mr. Huths original statement to the police was released, and it said. "Having known the location for 20 years, I cannot think of why a car driving that fast would have to brake at that point unless there was something in its way."
We were tipped off, to be there.
Photographer Thierry Orban, of the Sigma picture agency said that his editor and chief told him to go to the hospital because big news was expected at about 11, or 11:30 on the night Diana died. She was in the car crash around midnight.
Than Mr. Orban, was again called and told that a big announcement for the Princess and Dodi, possibly a pregnancy or engagement was about to happen, and thats why there were at the Ritz Hotel.
Mr. Orban, also said, that he was again called to go to the tunnel, as there had been a crash, and he only took one photo, of the ambulance which turned out blurry. And he followed the Ambulance to the hospital, and it was rocking, as if they were doing cardiac massage. (Oct 17th)
A cheffeur said he saw Diana in the back of her car, and she opened her eyes and looked conscious.
Chauffeur Eric Lifalandry, drove by the accident moments after it happened and stopped to offer help. He didn't know it was Princess Diana, even when he looked into her eyes, while someone was tending to her injuries. The paramedics were tending to the body guard Trevor Rees as well, and the driver looked like he had died. (Oct 17th)
An eyewitness, now deceased, had his statement read. British solicitor Gary Hunter, who was staying at the Royal Alma Hotel, near the Pont de Alma tunnel, said he heard an almighty crash, and he saw two cars going at an 'inordinate speed'. He looked out his window, and said he saw a white vehicle, and he thought it was a Mercedes, and a small dark car speeding away from the tunnel. He said the white vehicle was almost touching the bumper of the small dark car, as if it was shielding the backend of the dark car. (Oct 17th)
Saw a motorcycle speeding Another witness, Severine Peyret, was a passenger in a convertible Saab belonging to her boyfriend, (who is now her husband), said she heard the crash of a car, while they were in the tunnel, and when she looked, she saw a motorcycle racing at high speeds. She said it was understood that the motorcycle was involved in the collision, and it was obvious the motorcycle was fleeing the scene of the accident. She stated that she only saw one passenger on the motorbike. (Oct 17th)
Video footage showing Dodi buying an engagement ring. Hours before the crash, Dodi had made a stop at a jewelers, that Al Fayeds family says was to purchase an engagement ring. (Oct 18th)

It's my belief that this was a terrorist attack. In fact, it seems very obvious to me that it was.
