Explosions at Zaventem

Post by KMwecare »

(Good)morning,

This morning there were 2 explosions at Brussels Airport Zaventem. It is not clear if it's an attack or an accident.

All flights, arrivals and departures, are suspended until further notice.

Looking at FR24 a lot of flights are circling over Belgium right now. I expect a lot of diversions

Reports that Brussels Central Station and the whole Brussels metro are now also being evacuated.

Belgian VRT- news crew who were on scene minutes after the explosions are now also being sent away.
Everyone is being evacuated from the airport buildings near the terminal.

Apparently a third explosive device has been found in the Zaventem Airport terminal.

Sad day... :(

EDIT:
RTBF reports an explosion near/at/in metro station Maelbeek.
