Just heard of an explosion at BRU.

No detailed info yet. Happened inside the terminal building.

H.A.

A second explosion said to be much more powerful.

All approaching planes seem to be diverted to other airports.

I was to fly at 12:10... I consider myself lucky...

No way there aren't any fatalities... I hope not many...

RIP all those that passed away, except for the idiots responsible...

I feel very sad...

preliminary report from the fire services talks of 11 deaths and at least 25 injured

I am trembling like a leaf. Got a lot of colleagues there at the moment.

Like in Turkey, add security counters to enter the departure hall....I do not say Turkey is great example... My thoughts are will all people in BRU!
