2 explosions at Brussels airport
Brussels, Belgium (CNN) — [Breaking news update, posted at 4:06 a.m. ET]
Dozens of people have been stretchered out of the airport in Brussels after two explosions occurred there earlier on Monday, according to eyewitnesses.
[Previous story, posted at 3:59 a.m. ET]
(CNN) -- Two explosions occurred at the airport Brussels, Belgium.
Federal police at the airport at Zaventem told CNN that "there has been an explosion" and "something has happened."
The Brussels airport tweeted that there have been two explosions and said that "the building" is being evacuated.
Anthony Barrett said he heard something at about 8 a.m. local time from his hotel across from the terminal building.
"When I opened the curtains and looked out, I could see people fleeing," he told CNN.
He said he's seen about 19 or 20 stretchers carrying people so far. Luggage trollies were also being used to transport the wounded.
"It's clearly a very serious incident," he said.
It's unclear what caused the explosions, or if they're related to terrorism.
The airport is currently being evacuated and a disaster plan has been initiated, according to CNN affiliate RTL. Passengers have been directed to the runways.
Witnesses told RTL at least one of the two explosions took place in the airport's departure hall.

13 dead at the airport, 15 or more in the subway. This changes the situation in Europe.
My deepest sympathy to the people of brussels.:-(
Edit:Unconfirmed update says 40 dead, I dont think we have seen the end of this count
The face of evil. . .:thumbsdown:
Its probably a suicideattack the officials ssay. The first bomb went of at the americanairlines checkin counter, the second went off at a starbucks on the way out, where people were fleeing from the first bomb. Superevil but a typical terroristmove. The number of dead at the airport is now 21
Nobody looking at refugees now. No casuality it happened while refugees are being sent to Turkey
¤=[Post Update]=¤
I wonder what is up with Cern
Good Lord what's happening...
13 dead already. I need to call my sister, she was going to travel, see if it was today, I don't remember.
The airport windows are shattered. I've been admiring those windows since childhood, and how they reflected shiny clouds...

In case you did not notice :

Nun bestätigt das öffentliche Nahverkehrsunternehmen, dass sich die U-Bahn-Explosion um 9.11 Uhr in einem haltenden Metrozug in der Station Maelbeek ereignet hat.
rough translated: official Railroadcompany acknowledges: Subwayexplosion happened at 9.11 !!!!
humor? coincidence? evil genious?
Meanwhile,
The Dutch prime minister has made a statement in which he said that the attack was aimed at our freedom and our way of living.
I think we've heard those words before.
Yep.
Coordinated multiple explosion attack rings a bell as well ...
Yesterday was also spring equinox. Not nececessarily relevant, but I've noticed other things happening on these days. Easter seems a popular time as well.
I would suspect this all is related to the capture of Salah Abdeslam ...
And the implication there/in of his local terrorist network.
Yeah the official-ish debate is that this attack had been coordinated already, just moved forward because of Salah.
The othe is that there are terrorist cells all over the place with playbooks like this ready to go any minute someone who is willing to die by blowing him/her self up?
(do the woman get 77 virgin men too?) ANyway.
These scenario's could be " safer" as intelligence could prevent those.
Another one is that everywhere through europe the bomb jackets and equipment is stashed. ready to use for anyone on a moments notice which makes it more erratic and uncontrollable really, although infiltration might help.
As for what I think.
I am unsure who is doing what at the moment. The culprit could be anywhere on the scale from the big western invasion in the middle east pissing muslim extremists off.
To belgian/french muslim extremists doing what they feel they need to.
To cia and mossad agents posing and staging terror to get that agenda 21 thing going already.
I do feel there isn't very much I can do to keep people safe that's for sure...
So everyone take care will you, maybe hug someone near etc..

Here is an article from 2012 with the headlines, "Belgium Will Become an Islamic State"
http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/34...-islamic-state
Here is a quote from the article about the exact area involved at the metro station explosion
Quote:
In Molenbeek, where an estimated 25% of the population is Muslim, the growing insecurity has forced multinational companies to leave the municipality. In June 2011, for example, the American advertising agency BBDO abandoned Molenbeek after citing over 150 assaults on its staff by local youth.
In an open letter addressed to the then-mayor Philippe Moureaux, BBDO reported that each one of its employees had been the victim of crimes in Molenbeek. The letter states: "Youngsters who forcibly rob our bags. Youngsters who smash car windows. Youngsters who verbally corner us so that we become paralyzed with fear. Young people who are not afraid to even point a gun at one of our male colleagues." BBDO criticized Moureaux, a Socialist, of inaction due to his multicultural notions of political correctness.
On November 5, the Belgian Interior Ministry reported that gang rapes in the country have reached epidemic levels. It reported an average of five new cases of rapes each week involving two or more offenders, in addition to an average of 57 rapes per week involving single violators
It's time we as Americans stand with the world and unite in one voice: NO MORE!

What we know about airport and metro attacks
http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/660/c...1_88889080.jpg
At least 26 people have been killed and dozens more injured in explosions at Brussels airport and a metro station.
Twin blasts struck the departures area of Zaventem international airport, in the north-east of the city.
Another explosion hit the Maelbeek metro station in the city centre, close to several European Union institutions.
The attacks come four days after the capture in Brussels of Salah Abdeslam, the main suspect in the jihadist attacks in Paris on 13 November 2015.
http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cps...ack_624map.png
The first two explosions happened in the check-in area of Brussels Zaventem airport at about 08:00 local time
• Where were the explosions?
There were two explosions in the check-in area of the airport at about 08:00 local time (07:00 GMT) on Tuesday.
The Belgian federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw said one of the blasts was "likely" to have been a suicide bomb.
http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cps...ort_624_v6.png
The twin explosions are thought to have been at opposite ends of the check-in area, one near the entrance.
Just over an hour later, a further blast happened at the Maelbeek metro station in the city centre, close to several EU institutions.
http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/c...v02_624map.png
A third explosion happened an hour later than the airport blasts, at Maelbeek metro station in the city centre
• How many people have been killed?
At least 26 people have died in the three explosions. The Belgian health minister said 11 were killed and 81 injured in the airport blasts.
The metro explosion killed 15 people and injured 55, according to transport operator STIB.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel told a news conference "there are many dead, many injured".
"What we feared, has happened," he added. "We realise we face a tragic moment. We have to be calm and show solidarity."
• Is Brussels safe?
Belgium raised its terror threat to its highest level following Tuesday's attacks. The national crisis centre urged people to "stay where you are" and instructed schools to keep children inside during their lunch break.
The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) updated its travel advice for Britons in Brussels, urging them to "stay away from crowded places and avoid public transport at this time".
The FCO has set up a helpline for Britons concerned for the safety of a friend or relative in Belgium. The phone number is 0207 008 0000.
A spokesman for travel organisation Abta said British holidaymakers in Brussels should follow the instructions of the Belgian authorities, while those due to travel should contact their transport provider.
Brussels blasts: Crisis information
• Is transport still running?
Brussels Zaventem airport closed after the attacks, with all flights diverted elsewhere. Officials say it will remain closed until 06:00 local time on Wednesday.
The city's entire metro rail system was also shut down shortly after the explosion at Maelbeek station while Eurostar has suspended its high-speed rail service to and from Brussels.
• Why has Brussels been attacked?
No group has said it was behind the attacks but Belgium's Interior Minister Jan Jambon said on Monday that there was a threat from revenge attacks after the capture of Salah Abdeslam.
Abdeslam, a suspect in last year's Paris attacks, was wounded and arrested in a police raid on an apartment in Brussels last week.
The Belgian-born French national is said to be co-operating with police and is fighting extradition to France.
Mr Jambon told Belgian radio: "We know that stopping one cell can... push others into action. We are aware of it in this case."
http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/c...enbeek_624.png
Salah Abdeslam was captured in police raid in the Molenbeek area of Brussels on Friday
• How have other countries reacted?
Security measures have been stepped up in western European countries following the attacks.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said an extra 1,600 police officers had been deployed to train stations, airports and border crossings. France has been on alert since 130 people were killed in attacks in Paris last November.
British airports and transport hubs are also increasing security as a precaution and Prime Minister David Cameron is convening the UK government's Cobra emergency committee, which brings together ministers, police and intelligence officers.
The UK's official terrorist threat level remains unchanged at "severe," the second-highest level on a five-point scale, meaning an attack is highly likely.
German authorities have stepped up security measures at airports, train stations and the borders with Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, a spokesman for the federal police said.
I have been listening to this in the car on the way home , obviously to early to
say whether genuine or not, The news was linking it to the capture of the Paris
bomber in the area a couple of days ago , anyway just looked on the headline

POLICE STATE LOCK-DOWN: Terrorist Bombing Strikes Brussels Airport and Subway
March 22, 2016 By 21wire 1 Comment
21st Century Wire says…
‘Europe has been hit with its most spectacular ‘terror’ attack yet – hitting two types
of public transportation targets which will trigger the most fear and trepidation in the
minds of the public: an airport terminal and a subway station.
Interestingly, this attack comes just four days after Belgian and French police finally
tracked down and arrested the alleged ‘mastermind’ of the Paris Attacks, Salah Abdeslam.
The U.S. embassy in Brussels has also declared a security emergency, and are now
instructing all American citizens to “shelter in place.” As the media coverage spins
into overdrive this evening, politicians will feel the pressure to make some very big
announcements thereafter.’
In the immediate aftermath of the recent Paris Attacks in late 2015, French president Francois
Hollande called for temporarily closing down France’s borders, emergency police powers and
also for “suspending the constitution” (suspending citizens’ rights). Also, Hollande launched
airstrikes against supposed “ISIS targets” in Syria. It was a full-spectrum reaction to Paris.
Expect similar announcements from Belgium and EU authorities within the next 24 hours.
Once the dust begins to settle in Brussels, it’s almost 100% certain that a whole new raft of
Europe-wide (and possible western-worldwide) security measures will now be rushed into place
as a reaction to this latest incident. These will likely include, but are limited to, new police powers
of search, seizure and detention, biometric ID systems and other ‘enhanced screening’ measures.
Also expect some privacy debate to ensue regarding personal device encryption, or unfettered
police access to personal information.
According to authorities, here is what they are saying so far…

Brussels Zaventem airport bombings aftermath
David Icke is correct. Let's see what their solution is to all this. I personally think this was a False Flag Terror attack. The Paris attacks were a False Flag just like the London Bombings on 7/7 and more obviously 9/11. We know what 9/11 accomplished for the Elite and of course 7/7. What did the Paris attacks do? Well apart from passing down more Draconian Control Laws it got France involved in the Syria conflict.
So what will this one accomplish?
no kidding...let us keep in mind whom exactly has a vested interest in controlling our "freedom and way of living", and not lose sight of who the terrorists really are, no matter the reports. Think for yourself and allow the spin doctoring tales to go in one ear and out the other.
This channeling is a bit interesting, although predictable.

This is the context.
Here's what the London Daily Mail said over a year ago, on 18 Feb 2015:
http://dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...on-bombed.html
ISIS threatens to send 500,000 migrants to Europe as a 'psychological weapon' in chilling echo of Gaddafi's prophecy that the Mediterranean 'will become a sea of chaos'
ISIS has threatened to flood Europe with half a million migrants from Libya in a 'psychological' attack against the West, it was claimed today.
Transcripts of telephone intercepts published in Italy claim to provide evidence that ISIS is threatening to send 500,000 migrants simultaneously out to sea in hundreds of boats in a 'psychological weapon' against Europe if there is military intervention against them in Libya.
Many would be at risk of drowning with rescue services unable to cope. But authorities fear that if numbers on this scale arrived, European cities could witness riots.
Separately, the militants hope to cement their control of Libya then cross the Mediterranean disguised as refugees, according to letters seen by Quilliam the anti-terror group, reported by the Telegraph.
(continued here)
The London Daily Mail, as posted by Bill, makes Trump's stance seem more appropriate and less extreme.
One of the Late Dr David Hawkins talks pointed out that due to the low level off consciousness of some, a group or individual at such a low level would laugh at acts of kindness and think one who was forgiving and compassionate a "MUG" to betaken advantage of.
I don't necessarily agree with my initial thoughts

Who is Bombing European Civilians?
Sott.net Tue, 22 Mar 2016 15:39 UTC
(Excerpt)
The last time a wave of bomb attacks were carried out against European civilian targets, 'leftist' or 'communist' groups were blamed. Eventually the truth came out that those groups were deliberately framed and the real perpetrators were 'commando' type groups working directly under the imperial aegis of NATO, which is to say, the USA, its agents and ideological sympathizers in Europe.
The point of this wave of bombings and shootings was to divide, manipulate, and control public opinion using fear, propaganda, disinformation, psychological warfare, agents provocateurs, and false flag terrorist acts to achieve the strategic aims of Western governments, in particular the US government. These strategic aims were embedded in the 'Cold War' ideology of preventing left wing, socialist or communist parties from reaching executive power in Europe, reducing US influence and increasing that of the former Soviet Union.
Last year the Chairman of the U.S. Join Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, stated that the US government and military was 'dusting off its Cold War playbook' in order to deal with Russia and the threat of it gaining influence over European countries. The Pentagon recently designated Russia as the number one threat facing the US today. One has to wonder then how closely the Pentagon's Cold War strategy is being followed today, and if it involves similar false-flag terror attacks against the civilian population of Europe in order to create a climate of insecurity under which more authoritarian policies can be imposed on the public. One also has to wonder about the strange coincidence of Turkish PM Erdogan warning just a few days ago that, "there is no reason why the bomb that exploded in Ankara [on March 12th] could not explode in Brussels."

Here with you Belgium, we're about hour apart by flight . Makes me feel personally very sad and sorry , since morning ..before I opened the news page even the day felt gloomier than usually .
It does not become 'normal' with more and new victims, shootings , false flag ? So sick of the conspiracy theorists, who cares who did it once the destruction is done ,
people can't be put back to life, the memories will never go . Never ever.
:flower::flower::flower::flower::flower::flower::flower:
In my poor opinion , the following type of media 'leak' , no doubt it's intentional yet very unprofessional is partially responsible for what has happened today .
I've noticed the above and similar articles in the news since this successful yet sick manhunt , surprised he's still in Belgium at all but my point is,Quote:

Paris attacks: Salah Abdeslam 'worth his weight in gold'
Salah Abdeslam, a suspect in last year's Paris attacks who was arrested in Belgium last week, is "worth his weight in gold" to investigators, his lawyer has said.
"He is collaborating... He is not maintaining his right to remain silent," said lawyer Sven Mary.
Abdeslam was captured in a raid on an apartment in Brussels and is being interrogated by police.
He is the only surviving participant in the attacks in police custody.
However, Mr Mary denied media reports that Abdeslam, 26, would become an informer in return for more lenient treatment.
Abdeslam, a Belgian-born French national dubbed Europe's most-wanted fugitive, is now fighting extradition to France.
details of investigation and whether he's 'coping' or not should never been published before concluding the investigation process and chiefly, verifying the information .
It had to be number one trigger for the next terrorist cell to blast themselves and so forth ,
it may just go forever . This is hardly a common war , theirs is a guerrilla war that follows quite different set of rules and relies on secrecy .
It also shows lack of understanding of other cultures and mentalities on side of the EU investigators , in my opinion.
What does it help to publish faces and names in Arabic of people who all look and sound similar to common European , who travel under/with several fake passports on different fake names and who rely on trusting each other .
If the 'suspect' told anything confidential to them it should have been put to use instead boasting about it in papers .
In my opinion again, their cells work exactly like cells do , one being destroyed triggers the next .
from David's report above...
"Reports have emerged that Belgium has closed its embassy and consulate in Turkey following the attacks in Brussels. According to CNN Turk, all interviews, visa
issuances and other activities have been canceled for today and tomorrow..."
moments after the attack they turned and shut the Turkey consulate? why?
the Bulls-eye is being painted by everyone...
Please, stop this. The people of Molenbeek have had enough of this group painting.
Recently a documentary series was launched on Eén tv, 'Molenbeek', showing the "normal" people who live in Molenbeek, the ones only few are trying or willing to see at this moment.
I think I heard Sven Mary say that eventually Abdeslam will go to France but they are fighting an exceptional speeding up of bureaucracy, which seems to be what France is asking.
He said it was time Belgium stopped giving into France's wishes just out of feelings of guilt (for not having done enough to prevent the Paris attacks).
Airport will remain closed tomorrow. Some even doubt that it will be open by Thursday.
