Brussels attacks: ‘There were officials pushing everyone’

A Galway man has described the “surreal” evacuation of Brussels Airport yesterday morning, and said the panic caused by the explosions resulted in a stampede as people tried to escape the departure gates.

Law student, Luke Mac an Bháird, said he was waiting to board a flight at his gate when the bombs went off.

“At ten past eight there were officials pushing everyone telling people to run to the bottom of their gate,” Mr Mac an Bháird told The Anton Savage Show on Today FM.
