“Terror in the terminal: Chilling footage shows moment passengers cower under desks and run for their lives after suicide bomb blasts rock Brussels Airport in series of ISIS attacks that have killed 34,” by Simon Tomlinson, Martin Robinson, Julian Robinson, John Stevens and Mark Duell, MailOnline, March 22, 2016:
Cowering under desks and running for their lives, this is the terrifying moment passengers were caught up in an ISIS suicide bomb attack at Brussels Airport today in a series of blasts that have killed at least 34 people and injured 170 across the city.
Witnesses described apocalyptic scenes with blood and ‘dismembered bodies everywhere’ after two blasts rocked the terminal at around 8am (7am GMT), killing at least 14 people and injuring dozens of others.
Then 79 minutes later at 9.19am, at least 20 people were killed and scores injured, some critically, when a blast hit a Metro station just 400 metres from the EU headquarters in the city centre.
At the airport, there were reports of a firefight between police and the attackers who shouted in Arabic moments before detonating their bombs, one of which was understood to contain nails.
An unexploded suicide vest was later found in the rubble and a Kalashnikov rifle beside the body of a dead terrorist. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The blasts, which detonated near a Starbucks and several check-in desks, sent shockwaves through the terminal building, shattering windows and knocking roof tiles off the ceiling as terrified passengers ran for their lives.
The explosions, coming just four months after the Paris attacks, have left countries around the world reeling, with security services placed on high alert, flights cancelled, Eurostar services suspended and France’s border with Belgium shut down.
Two suspects were arrested a mile from the Maelbeek metro station at around 11am as hundreds of troops and police flooded the streets of Brussels in the hunt for members of the terror cell.
Soldiers have been also been deployed at the airport and other key locations across the capital.
The Tihange nuclear power plant, around 90km from the capital, is being evacuated of all non-essential staff as Belgium raised security to its maximum level.
The bombings come just a day after the Belgium Interior Minister warned of possible revenge attacks after the arrest of Paris massacre suspect Salah Abdeslam in the city on Friday.
Yesterday, a secret police dossier also revealed there could be up to 90 ‘kamikazes’ waiting to launch suicide bomb attacks in Europe after returning from Syria disguised as migrants.
Speaking today, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said: ‘What we feared has happened.
‘In this time of tragedy, this black moment for our country, I appeal to everyone to remain calm but also to show solidarity.’
Terror gripped the airport at around 7am local time (8am GMT) as passengers checked in their bags and prepared to board flights.
Photographs from inside the arrivals hall showed the floor covered in fallen tiles and dust as bloodied people hobbled out of the airport. Others injured were photographed lying on the floor.
Video showed terrified passengers running for their lives out of the building.
Firefighters who entered the terminal to search for survivors are said to have found a third unexploded device, while armed police in protective clothing combed the building for more wounded travellers and suspicious bags.
The British Foreign Office today confirmed one Briton was injured in the explosions, while three American missionaries from Utah are believed to have been seriously hurt.
A Belgian TV station is reporting that at least one of the bombs at the Brussels airport contained nails.
Broadcaster VTM interviewed Marc Decramer of the Gasthuisberg hospital in Leuven, who says the hospital is treating 11 people with serious injuries, three of them in critical condition.
Decramer says the wounded have fractures and deep cuts caused by flying glass and nails.
Samir Derrouich, who works at a restaurant in the airport, told MailOnline: ‘The two explosions were almost simultaneous.
‘They were both at a check-in desk. One was close to the Starbucks. It was awful. There was just blood. It was like the apocalypse.’…

“Arabic”
Indeed, islam is the cult contrived by Arabs to militarize Arab imperialism exponentially by imposing upon the conquered the cult mandate to murder or enslave the noncompliant so as to impose Arab male supremacy in order to fully facilitate the Arab adult male’s id driven desire to inflict himself upon the flesh of others via sex and violence.

Obviously, the Europeans failed to provide the newly arrived refugees with enough hugs, or economic opportunity, or……..fill in the blank.
Michael Johnson says
Western countries are going to continue getting attacked by Muslims until the west realizes Islam is the problem you must call evil by its name
mccode says
Absolutely correct. You let terrorists in, you get terror.

I’ve used that airport once. A nice little airport tucked away in a pretty little city. So sad for the loss of lives.

Brussels poked them in the eye by arresting a terrorist who was behind the Paris attacks.

This was horrifying. I don’t usually get weepy at these things, but I was here. I couldn’t figure out why, exactly.
And then I realized the dust reminded me of 9/11. Feels like another lifetimes, doesn’t it?
Angemon says
Did it rhymed with “kibbeh hummus” or “allahu ackbar”?
Russell Kirk Was Right says
How come it seems the politicians who are responsible for this invited destruction are never themselves victims of these horrific events?
Merkel, Cameron, Hollande, and the other band of useless idiots somehow remain unscathed.
I’m reminded that in Dante’s Inferno the traitor’s are consigned to the lowest circle of hell.

Because of the subversion of the principle of electing a leader. The idea behind electing a leader, as opposed to monarchy, was that the chosen person would be “one of the people” – someone who understands what the average citizen faces on a daily basis. Professional politicians, people who spend their lives being groomed and prepared for a place in government, from “Party Youths” to “Party Members”, all while having their party buddies hooking them up with low-work, high salary positions in their companies, with the unwritten agreement of “I scratch your back, you’ll scratch mine”, have no idea of what the average citizen faces on a daily basis. For them, there’s nothing wrong with, for example, open borders policies – the closest they’ll be to a “migrant” is during a visit to a “problematic” neighbourhood or “refugee” center, or if they order from a kebab shop for supper.
They won’t face the consequences of their policies during their daily lives.

New tagline sign-off on everything I will say or write:
“Furthermore, I consider that islam must be destroyed.”
I am going to add this as a footer to my email, I encourage you to do the same.
I am going to add this to every post I make here, and every article I write for other people.
I am going to start saying this – and I’m not joking – in my daily conversations out and about. I recommend you all do the same.
Someone should sell bumper stickers that say, “Islam Must Be Destroyed”. I can’t, but someone should.
This is a variant on Cato the Elder’s constant rhetorical sign-off, “Carthago delenda est”, which means “Carthage must be destroyed”. This is actually a simplification of this phrase, “Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam” (English: “Furthermore, (moreover) I consider that Carthage must be destroyed”).
Cato would say this at the conclusion of every speech or statement. He said it ALL. DAY. EVERY. DAY. He used this tagline even when what he was addressing had nothing whatever to do with Carthage.
Islam MUST be destroyed. Anything less is suicidal, effeminate insanity. This satanic political system must be wiped from the face of the earth. Not contained, not tolerated, not quarantined, not “reformed”, not compromised with, not dialogued with, and encountered only for the sole purpose of destroying it.
Islam must be destroyed first for the well-being of those outside of it, but also so that the people stuck inside of it could be freed from its satanic grip. We fought the Nazis in WWII first to liberate those nations being attacked and conquered by the Third Reich, BUT ALSO TO LIBERATE THE GERMAN PEOPLE THEMSELVES.
Furthermore, I consider that islam must be destroyed.

You mean leftist marxist liberalism and $9 coffee doesn’t protect society from ISLAMIC terrorism? (sarcasm).
Slow-roasted ham sandwiches probably do not help the “coexist” situation either (more sarcasm).
