<p>Two blasts were reported at the city&#8217;s airport and another at the Maelbeek metro station.</p>
<p>Zach Mouzoun, who arrived on a flight from Geneva about 10 minutes before the first blast, told BFM television that the second, louder explosion brought down ceilings and ruptured pipes, mixing water with blood from victims.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was atrocious. The ceilings collapsed,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There was blood everywhere, injured people, bags everywhere.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;We were walking in the debris. It was a war scene,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p>Jef Versele, 40, from Ghent, Belgium, was at the airport and described the scene as &#8220;unbelievable&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was on my way to check in and two bombs went off &#8211; two explosions,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t see anything. Everything was coming down. Glassware. It was chaos, it was unbelievable. It was the worst thing.&#8221;<br />
He added: &#8220;People were running away, there were lots of people on the ground. A lot of people are injured.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Versele was two or three storeys above the source of the explosion but he said many people around him were hurt.<br />
&#8220;The bomb was coming from downstairs. It was going up through the roof. It was big.</p>
<p>&#8220;About 15 windows were just blown out from the entrance hall,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>He said the emergency services were still securing the area.<br />
Bart van Meele had planned to take a 30th birthday trip to Milan and had passed through security in the terminal when he heard an explosion.</p>
<p>Speaking from the airport, with sirens wailing in the background, the Apple worker, who was evacuated along with thousands of other people, said: &#8220;One of the explosions I heard, and then afterwards people started running.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s OK, I&#8217;m very calm but it&#8217;s a bit crazy. You never really think it would happen to you but it&#8217;s OK.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr van Meele, who lives in Belgium but is from the Netherlands, added: &#8220;We are all next to the airport, there are a lot of people here. I was inside the terminal, and then people started running very, very fast and then it was quiet for a time and then again they started running and it took a while before we got any information.&#8221;</p>
<p>Stephanie Vanhemelryck, 24, who lives 45 minutes from the airport, described the aftermath of the attacks.</p>
<p>&#8220;I arrived there after the explosions happened. I pass the airport while I go to work. I get the train to work. And when I arrived there, there was an immediate evacuation.&#8221;</p>
<p>As she was guided away from the main building, Ms Vanhemelryck said she saw several injured people, including a &#8220;few security guards injured with head wounds&#8221;.</p>
<p>She said initially people did not seem to realise the severity of the situation, but &#8220;emotional chaos&#8221; followed.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was fine in the beginning but as more people started to arrive there was way more chaos&#8221;, she said. &#8220;People started getting cold. People started crying.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added: &#8220;When more people started to come outside, more emotional chaos started to happen &#8211; but not like running around. More like emotions flowing.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the metro, traveller Evan Lamos tweeted a picture of passengers climbing from his train into the tunnel, saying: &#8220;We are being evacuated from the back of the Metro, between Schuman and Maelbeek.</p>
<p>&#8220;Smoke in the tunnel as we evacuate.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brussels resident Shigeo Sugimoto said he was one stop away from where the metro was hit and heard people shouting.</p>
<p>He wrote on Facebook: &#8220;I am fine !! But i was in the metro when suddenly some one start shouting &#8216;explosions!!! Evacuation!!!<br />
&#8220;Ouch!!! I was just one station ahead before when explosion happened !!!!!!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>He posted pictures showing cars and people standing in the road and wrote: &#8220;Maerbeek (sic) now apocalypse!!!&#8221;</p>
