  • 8 years ago
Translated from French:

[man behind camera] Sir I see you’re limping, are you coming from the airport? You were there when it [the explosion] happened?

[Interviewee] Yes, I was, I was in the terminal ten seconds before and suddenly when I was outside I heard windows shattering ten… not even... five metres from where I was. I heard the windows… It was a heavy explosion and then I had to run. I have a cramp there. I don’t understand… how? How long is this going to carry on for?

Are you hurt, sir?

I think I have a sprain.

And no paramedic took care of you? Did you just run away?

I couldn’t call paramedics when I had to run away to safety.

I was in the airport too, I heard the explosion and I had to escape hastily.

[to people on the street] You’re going to Brussels too?

[crowd] Yes.

I’m going to get my car there.

Okay.
