Explosions at Brussels Airport

What is happening to this world!!!

Two explosions at Brussels airport this morning. News saying Serveral people have been killed.

Hope no one here is caught up in the incident and everyone is safe.

This really shook me up, beyond the obvious tragedy. Best friend's son is doing a semester abroad in Brussels, and is spending quite a few weekends traveling Europe, using the metro to get to the airport. Thank God he has reported in as safe!

Prayers to the victims, their families and the nation.

Just woke up and heard this sad news

A few days ago they finally found Salah Abdeslam and arrested him in Brussels

He was involved in the attacks in Paris

And this is probably their retaliation. . .

Don't have any words for this cowardice act . . .

Just awful. One of my colleagues is stationed there and he was supposed to take a flight to Italy tomorrow. He is safe, fortunately.

In America We have to do something to control and close our borders. End of story I don't care whose feelings get hurt.

In Europe I'm afraid it's too late.
