As of right now:

According to French media reports, there were two explosions minutes apart just before 8am at Brussels Airport - one in the departures area and one on or near the runway, writes Angelique Chrisafis.

A false ceiling collapsed causing lots of dust and smoke.

The departures area had easy access to the public, but the runway area would have been closed to public access and raises questions about how the explosion could have happened there.

The Belgian broadcaster RTBF says up to 10 people were killed and 30 wounded in the airport explosions. It cited a hospital source for the figures, according to Reuters.

This is an ongoing thing, so some level of lower-effort/live posting is to be expected, but don't be a dumbass or you will be probated :angel:
