At the entrance to the freight zone their are currently police cars. We hear sirens and we heard some explosions when we opened the windows ourselves. We follow info on the newswebsites.

Apparantly also explosions in the Metro in Brussels City. It's bigger than the airport

I'm guessing a lot of terrorists dudes were afraid Absolom would give them up, so they compressed the schedule.

terrorlevel to maximum in entire country now (was so on al airports before), Brussel Cetraal/Midi apparently evacuated, same for Brussel Metro system. Seems smoke is coming from one (maybe more) of the metro stations.

from De Tijd (second link in OP)
"09:22
Bericht over aanslagen in metro
Volgens verschillende berichten zou er nu ook een explosie zijn gehoord in één of meerdere metrostations in Brussel."

->Report about attacks in metro. According to reports an explosion has been heard in one of more metrostations in Brussel.

edit1 -the attack in metroStation Maalbeek (close to de Wetstraat/Rue de Loi: political heart of the state) seems to have been confirmed.

edit2 (in regards to Archy's message): Belga has a report seemingly confirming the arab shouting before the explosions. It also mentions shooting before that.

edit3: apparently attacks in two more metroStations (Wetstraat, Schuman)

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
