Brussels attacks: Victims’ legs were shattered by blast

The legs of many people killed at Brussels Airport were shattered, as if the blast came from a piece of luggage, an airport worker, who helped carry their bodies, said.

Alphonse Youla, 40, who works at Zaventem Airport luggage security, said that before the first bomb went off, he heard a man shouting something in Arabic.

“Then, the tiled ceiling of the airport collapsed. I helped carry out five dead, with their legs destroyed, as if the bomb came from a piece of luggage,” he told reporters, his hands covered in blood. “It’s from the people I carried out.”
