Terrorist Attacks in Belgium (Stay safe pals)

[Monty Burns]

At least 11 dead after two explosions rock the American Airlines check-in desk at Brussels Airport - as SECOND 'terror attack' hits Metro station in city centre

At least eleven people have died and several injured after two explosions rocked Brussels Airport in a suspected terror attack.
Witnesses described seeing 'dismembered bodies everywhere' after the blasts which are believed to have centred on the American Airlines check-in desk at around 8am (7am GMT).
There were reports that shouts in Arabic were heard in the building before the two explosion and shots were fired in the aftermath.
Around 90 minutes later, there were reports of another explosion at a Metro station near the EU headquarters in central Brussels.
Photographs from inside the arrivals hall showed the floor was covered in fallen roof tiles and dust as bloodied people hobbled out of the airport. Others injured were photographed lying on the floor.
Video also shows terrified passengers running for their lives out of the terminal.
The explosions come just a day after the Belgium Interior Minister warned of possible revenge attacks after the arrest of Paris terror attack suspect Salah Abdeslam in the city last week.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3503928/Two-explosions-heard-Brussels-Airport.html

Two blasts tore through the departures area of Zaventem airport shortly after 08:00 local time (07:00 GMT).


An hour later, an explosion hit Maalbeek metro station, close to the EU institutions. The metro system and airport have both been closed.
The attacks come four days after Salah Abdeslam, the main suspect in the Paris attacks, was captured in Brussels.
The Belgian government has confirmed casualties at the airport but has given no numbers. The cause of the explosions is unknown.
The whole metro system has been closed. Belgium has now raised its terror threat to its highest level.

Monty, how many posts do you have on Flashback?

Thrillho, what you mean with "When religion meets science?"? I really dont want to link to wiki but I'm too lazy and busy to find a better source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_in_medieval_Islam

Also, this is a fucking waste of time http://www.dailysquib.co.uk/sci_tech/3102-scientists-prove-that-all-religious-books-are-man-made-nonsense.html . Only idiots who hang out at  "I fucking love science" would fall fot this garbage. Then again, they have no idea what "real" science is, they just click "like" on artistic illustrations of space.

I mean, what kind of scientific method would prove once and for all that religion/God/whatever does not exists? I hardly an expert on methodology, so ask Bryman and Bell if they can provide a proper methodology, theoretical framework, data collection, analysis and result to conduct a proper study.

 Dont turn this into something its not . Its a terror attack in europe and in the political capital of europe . Not a political statement or anything by me

lets just hope pals and everybody is ok

Currently at a safe distance in Ghent, about 30-40 miles away, but all hell is breaking loose in Brussels. Bombs are still going off, but it's not always clear whether they are ignited under control of the bomb squad or not.

Staying pretty calm at the moment and just distracting myself at work, but some people here are freaking out. I think just about everyone knows at least one friend of family member who either works or lives in Brussels. Heard from a few friends and colleagues they were lucky enough to either be working at home or being sent home. All of them are safe.

Geez, dont play the victim card, Monty. Your posting history tells a different story. If you want, we can start an official pole if people on Slap percieve your ass as a bitch-ass closed semi-nazi. At least stand up to your believes...

[iwishilivedinfinla]

probably more fanatical religious idiots.  i'll be getting on a plane later today, hopefully nobody fucks with me. 


this world can be dreadful sometimes

[Monty Burns]

they are reporting up to 43 dead with numbers rising . Saw something about a arrest aswell but they might have removed the news link about that

[NickDagger]

Europe needs a million more refugees asap.

I heard twenty and rising. Seems like they don't have a very clear picture of what's happening yet.

Was to be expected in Brussels of course. That city is such an embarrassment to Europe.

[noileum]

this is not a refugee problem - it is a cunty terrorist problem

the two are distinctly different

[Tufty]

I suspect I should just accept this as a quirk of modern society? �When religion meets science

 Religion is a very different thing according to how those in power use it and how ordinary people perceive it. Religion is actually a form of philosophy, a pretty much  immature form of it from ancient times that still survives. The problem is when the elites use religion or other philosophies to trick people into being slaves for the elites' causes. Christianity for example was pretty much groundbreaking and revolutionary when it first appeared, but after that it was slowly incorporated into the state and the elites, changed some of its foundations, became contradictory and helped into oppressing people. Islamist countries until the end of 18th century were more developed than the shithole Europe was, they were great in sciences. After the industrial revolution Islamists fell behind and the problems started when the powerful Europe started taking advantage of them. Then Islam from a pro-science religion was interpreted by some powers as the philosophy of revenge for many people in Middle East and fueled all this extremism. Of course not all Islamists are like that some of them are not drawn by that interpretation.

Free market is not less of religion than Islam, and for sure more catastrophic.


 Translated from a page I follow in Facebook:


Attacks in an airport, attacks inside metro stations. When the dogs of war that they unleash (meaning the west and their opponents) go nuts, they can bite even the one that unleashed them. The sad truth is that usually those who pay the price are those that are not at fault. Because the subway it is used by ordinary people, not by those who make the decisions, those have limos. The subway is used by those who clean toilets, who wash dishes, who paint walls, who go to school, locals and immigrants, and refugees amongst them. It would be ridiculous to see that as an anti-imperialist act because it happened in the capital of EU and NATO that we all hate.

Those attacks are a crime against victims and refugees because we know how the elites will use this attacks for their benefit, we know that the next victim will be the refugees. The dogs of imperialist elites are those who commited these crimes, dogs from one side dogs in the other side and ordinary people in the middle getting killed as a collateral damage from their big plans of domination against each other.

RIP

Everyone that isn't white will have a tough time getting through airport security today

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

I work directly in the center of Brussels.


My day:
- got at work at 7.37 AM as always
- im always first at the office and I read the local online paper since I work on the communication cell of our company
- 8.20 AM sirens, police, helicopters started to sound around the office
- Around 8.30 AM the first news started coming in about the airport, chills down my spine since this was a long time coming
- colleagues started entering and they were all in shock...
- some time after 9AM we heard a big blow, and we were all worried. Than dead silence and after 5 minutes sirens everywhere. Choas in the streets etc...
- 10 AM complete lockdown of brussels. No one could go in the streets or go oustid or inside the building.
- panic in the building, crying people... The explosion was 200m from where we work...
- all communication went down except for facebook, everything else was out. No cellphone connection etc...
- noon. Had to improvise for food at work.
- all transportation out, deathtoll rising etc... A guy we work with did not show up for work and always take the subway that was hit. Family has not heard from him either
- no trains, no taxis, no buses etc... Lockdown. Complete lockdown.

At 3 in the afternoon we got an email saying there would be a bus taking us away from brussels... Hectic situation broke out.

This day was sick, I work in Brussels and expected this WAY longer. i always thought they would hit central station though... The guy I work with probably will never show up again.

This was scary close... It all became very real.

Today I came home, went to the gym and just went zombie mode. Still can not grasp it.
Called my dad who is always ice cold emotionwise and heard his voice crack for the first time in my 33 year existence.

No pitty story here, but it is really insane to have been in the middle of it.
This all became very very real. It seriously was like being in a movie...

My condolences to the people that lost anyone...

Fuck religion. One love.

Peace.

[Fongstarr.]

^^^That's crazy. Sort of puts things in perspective hearing a person that is near ground zero. Hopefully that coworker just left to go home after the bomb went off. Crazy.

Last update I've seen is 34 dead.

My money is that this is a desperate last stand by the cell that did Paris. Seems relatively shitty planned from what I've gathered; Airport attack was after the major business rush and the subway was after the morning rush, not to mention that it's pretty much Easter and a lot of people away.

[fulfillthedream]

what happened in Brussels is a damn shame and my thoughts go out to all the victims and their families as well as all the other innocent civilians who have and will pay the price.



BUT  Monty- No threads about the terrorists attacks in Turkey??

BUT  Monty- No threads about the terrorists attacks in Turkey??

Im not the biggest fan of the Turkish government or PKK , and dont know much about the conflict . I do however like most Turkish peeps Ive met . Some really nice women aswell

ANYWAYS

I dont usually post terror attacks on SLAP , The Paris attack thread was not mine . I made any other thread about North American , Australian , South American , EU , Asian or African threads about Terror

I dont think its fair to call me out on not making terror threads about other countries when my only (1/1) thread was on EU .

[Tracer]

So easy to just drop a bomb off somewhere and detonate. These guys are experts at spreading fear, Europe was on their knees all day playing right in their hands.

It will take a real massacre like 2000 innocent people dead before the world does something about it. Until then we will just keep funding journalists, jerking everyone around in the news, and searching innocent people like it makes a difference.

There's no easy answer but doing nothing is the worst thing right now. Send a message, a big message.

Well it was more a point that I care less about Turkey then I do about Sweden/ EU .  Not saying I want anything bad to happen to the people of turkey

Nice to see that they have leads and people to hunt for this attack . And that the death toll seems to have gone down . In some cases we got really " lucky "

busy days for special forces, intelligence agency   and CT police

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

Of all the people they were able to indentify... 1.

That should say enough.

The journalists and people from the police say the injuries are absolutely horrible because they used a certain type of bomb filled with iron particles, chemicals, nails and spikes.

Yepp, typical coward technic.

Then again, the West bombs hospitals and civilians in The Middle East/Afghanistan. Laser guided missiles my fucking ass, more like pray guided missiles. I'd be frustrated too if some fat, illiterate US cunt blew up my house/truck/local hospital.

I'm not defending the terrorist cunts in any way. Hell, if any IS coward is reading this, I'm ready to fly wherever to burst some fucking mouths.

Same applies for inferior Western military engineering. Your over rated MIT diploma wont protect you from a burst mouth.

So, yeah... Plenty of people would need dental work.

[Monty Burns]

They caught one of the dudes

edit: such a fuck up , the 2 suicide bombers ( the brothers ) are the ones that escaped the failed Belgian shoot out afew days ago where they only got 1 of the suspects

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

Monty Molenbeek is a really big problem. It's really a breedingnest for extremists.

I'm not talking back to you in any way, just shining a light on the whole situation:

Cops didn't dare to go there because it's a ghetto ran by extremists. Everyone that goes there gets threatened etc. The IS guys that lived there got help and protection from 'regular' people that live there, giving them shelter in different houses providing them with food etc... that's how fucked up it is over there.

When they caught Abdeslam the cops were attacked by literally tons of people. Journalists were beaten shitless, soldiers were attacked with stones. I know they could/should have caught the two other guys. But on the other side it's all easier said than done.

And to be completly fair, this was a LONG time coming, and the cops already caught a bunch of IS members that were planning attacks. Like the IS-cells in verviers, vorst etc. so it's not like they didn't do anything. The point is that they're everywhere because they work in 'cells' and it's really hard to find a certain line in it. So unfortunately it's really hard to fight these guys.

[Monty Burns]

I know alot of ISIS and other extremists have been caught . If you check the media abit closley you see arrests made quite frequently in German , Belgium and France

but maaaaan . If Molenbeek is that bad they should have had riot police standing by , army should have had live or atleast rubber bullets . If you are out throwing stones / attacking police or military during a counter terrorism operation you should be a fair target

Im not sure the USA or Israel anti terror would have fucked around like that

There should be raids going on 24/7 now in the EU on anyone that has the slightest mark in the watch list

When the " west " bombs hospitals and civilians its either in a situation where it cant be avoided or it was a accident . The enemy the "west is fighting is a enemy that hides behind civilians , in civilian clothing and targets indiscriminately both military , PMCs and civilians .

Theres a huge difference between a laser guided bomb that hits its target within 1 meter and a 2 bombs in airport in Belgium

Or do you want to go back to carpet bombing targets ? wiping out villages and cities like back in WW2 and Vietnam ?. We have surgical strikes that hit the target and cause minimal damage to civilians . Used against a enemy that mostly targets civilians

Kinda wish we had a time machine to see how some of you guys would act during WW2

" We cant bomb Germany , we might kill civilian or hit a hospital "
