The 36-year-old, named only as Matthew, was dragged to safety by a French journalist after being shot in the leg during the massacre at the Bataclan theater on Friday, November 13.
And he revealed that, on September 11, 2001, he also came close to being killed.
He was in the street below the World Trade Center when the first plane struck the north tower, he told France's Le Monde newspaper. (snip)
He was spotted by Le Monde journalist Daniel Psenny, who'd been filming panicked concertgoers rushing from the scene from his nearby apartment.
"I was playing dead. When I felt someone dragging me by the arms, I didn't even look up. I said, or at least in my head – 'I love you, my angel,’†Matthew, whose wife had been due to attend the gig but didn’t because she had to babysit their child, added.
With the help of another unidentified man, Psenny hauled Matthew -- who used to live in New York and only moved to Paris with his family in July -- into his apartment.
His experience as an emergency room doctor certainly contributed to that dexterity. But it was the attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo back in January that made Dr. Pelloux an authority.
He was a writer for the magazine at the time, and could have easily been present at the news meeting that was underway when gunmen barged into the offices and fired at staff, many at point-blank range, killing 11 people. (snip)
That was traumatic enough, but less than a year later, Dr. Pelloux was again on the triage front line last Friday as Paris coped with a far deadlier attack on civilians.

Anyone got a drinking game involving brown liquor for Thursday?
This is such a shitshow on both sides of the family that I just decided to have a Second Thanksgiving on Sunday, within a totally sealed TriSec compound, so that maybe we can have a decent afternoon.
