On Tuesday morning three explosions in Brussels happened. Two at the Airport followed by one at the Metro station. 11 people got killed at the airport and 20 at the metro station and a lot got hurt. Three men carried around three suitcases at the airport. The polices says that they are pretty sure the bombs were inside of the suitcase, because all three people wore gloves under which the button for the explosion could be. The police thinks that two of the three men got killed and the third one is walking around somewhere and they are trying to find him.
The Terror group ISIS said that they are behind the attack.
After the explosion happened the people that survived were running out the airport. The people that got hurt got help at the outside of the airport or train station.
Link to the story.
Questions:
1. What would you think if you would be a person that would be at the airport or metro station at this time but survived?
2. Why do you think the ISIS does something like that?
3. Do you think that after Paris and Brussels will follow other attacks? Why?
4. Are you scared now to travel in any bigger city in Europe or the US?
Opinion:
In my opinion what happened in Brussels is horrible. If I would be a Person at the airport or metro station I would be shocked scared and overwhelmed. I personally think they are trying to kill as many people as possible that there is just about there civilization left. Which is in my opinion not possible because they are not that big as they think they are although we should be prepared for any other attack that they are planning. In my opinion they will never stop, because there goal is to kill people and they do everything for it. So I think they just keep going which is really scary. And honestly I would be scared to travel in any bigger city on the world because you never now where it happens next.

Great job Leonie!
I would be terrified and I would also probably be thankful that I managed to survive. I think that they wanted to instill fear and to intimidate the countries because it honestly seems like no one is retaliating against ISIS. I think a lot more attacks will follow until a country stands up to them. I'm not because you can't put your life on hold and be intimidated. Your not really living if you're constantly looking around for an attack.
Well ISIS just wants us to know that they are still coming with all of these attacks. And there is no doubt that they wont continue attacking. Yes, I am a little scared to go and travel to other places because anything could happen.
I agree that they want you guys to know that they are coming with all of these attacks which is really scary.
I would probably be the happiness person because i lived, because they dont care about anything or anyone, yes because they dont care, Kind of but whatever happens happens
I agree with your Statement that ISIS don't care about anyone and they just kind of let all happen
I would be scared out of my mind because I almost died. ISIS wants everyone to know that they are going to keep on going with these attacks. I do think that ISIS is going to continue to attack other countries. Yes, I am a little scared of traveling to other places because you never know what can happen. I really hate that people are doing this to each other. We are humans and we are destroying each other.
I agree with you. I would be scared to traveling around but you should not be scared in Europe in my opinion the US also needs to be prepared of any attack they could plan.
I would fear for my life at the point of the explosion. It would definitely be a heart-stopping experience. I think ISIS wants to get their message across the world that they aren't going to stop the attacks anytime soon. I think that there are going to be more attacks in the future because ISIS is radical terrorist group that won't stop until they get what they want. I'm not scared to travel to a big city in the US, but I would be hesitant to go to a big city in Europe.
I agree with you that they won't stop until they get what they want.
