Sky News published this video item, entitled “StoryCast ’21: Terror in Brussels Airport” – below is their description.
Using the timeframe of the last 21 years, Sky News returns to some of this century’s biggest news stories, using the focus of extraordinary personal stories, defined by these events.
Reporters typically arrive at the scene of a major news story after the event.
But on March 22 2016, Sky News correspondent Alex Rossi was in the duty-free at Brussels Airport when ISIS terrorists detonated two bombs in the departures lounge.
Just metres from where he was stood only moments earlier, people now lay dead. Among those severely injured was Sebastien Bellin, a former Belgian basketball player.
Within an hour, another bomb was detonated on the Metro in central Brussels. Amid the confusion, Alex Rossi began to document the terrifying unfolding situation inside the airport. What he had no understanding of at that time was the devastation inside the departure lounge, where Sebastien Bellin lay injured.
Revisiting their respective experiences, in depth, this podcast is a graphic account of the attack on Brussels – which claimed 32 lives – from the perspective of both men.
