The Bastille Day Event on July 14 2000, a major solar flare and a global coronal mass ejection (CME), is not a phenomenon of a single active region. Activation and eruption of a huge trans-equatorial filament is seen to precede the simultaneous filament eruption and flare in the source active region, AR9077, and the full halo-CME in the high corona. Evidence of reconfiguration of large-scale structures, manifested by SOHO EIT and Yohkoh SXT observations, is clearly seen. The large-scale magnetic composition related to the trans-equatorial filament and its sheared magnetic arcades appears to be the essential part of the CME parent magnetic structure. Estimations show that the filament-arcade system has enough magnetic helicityto account for the helicity carried by the related CMEs.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
