    Live: Two explosions at Brussels Airport, several people injured; cause unclear

    Tue, 22 Mar 2016-01:00pm

    Two explosions have been reported at Brussels airport, with passengers fleeing the terminal on Tuesday.

    Two explosions were heard at Brussels airport early on Tuesday morning and Belgian media said several people were injured.

    According to Reuters, the two explosions were heard at the airport. However, the cause is still unclear.

    Reports also suggest that several people have been injured.

    Sky news in London said the blasts had occurred in the departures lounge and cited reports it had occurred near the American Airlines desk.

    Belgian media said rail trafic to the airport was suspended.

    A photo circulating on social media shows travelers outside the airport running out entrance with bags in hand.

    # The blasts occurred four days after the arrest in Brussels of a suspected participant in November militant attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.

    # Sky News television's Alex Rossi, at the scene, said he heard two "very, very loud explosions".

    # Passengers were seen running away down a slipway from the departure lounge.

    At Least 26 Dead After Massive Bombings In Brussels

    The city of Brussels is on lock-down after a series of massive explosions at the airport and metro system. At least 28 people are dead.

    The attacks come after the arrest last week in Brussels of Salah Abdeslam, who is suspected of helping carry out the November 13 attacks in Paris.

    The threat is ongoing and the Prime Minister of Beligium warned residents to “stay inside.”

    The Deputy Prime Minister advised that people attempting to make contact with individuals in Brussels use messaging apps rather than the phone system, which is overloaded.

    Citizens are scrawling messages of support in colored chalk on the streets
