OTD 22 March 2016 Brussels Bombings
In the morning of 22 March 2016, 2 suicide bombings took place in Belgium, at the airport of Zaventem and one at the Maalbeek Metro Station in Brussels. 32 people were killed and more than 300 people were injured.
The perpetrators came from the same cell of the November 2015 Paris Attacks. In a television speech addressed to the nation, King Philippe of Belgium expressed his and Queen Mathildes sorrows about the events.
One year later, after a competition a monument to the victims was unveiled at the rue de la Loi, between Schuman and the Parc du Cinquantenaire.
The monument made by Jean-Henri Compere is called: 'wounded but still standing in front of the inconceivable'. It is constructed from 20 metres (66 feet) long horizontal surfaces rising skywards.
I took the pictures of the monument for the victims of 22 March 2016 in August 2018. Besides it is a modern art work, I do understand the meaning of it.
