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.
The Belgium Royal Palace releases this statement on Twitter in 2019:
Three years ago, our country was hit by 2 terrible attacks. Our thoughts
are with the victims and their families. Thank you to all who are
committed to and work towards a more united and more secure
society.
