Brussels attacks: Injured teen also survived Boston bomb

Mason Wells, 19, from Sandy, Utah, is expected to make a full recovery after the attack at Brussels airport on Tuesday. He had been standing close to one of the bombs and suffered a severed Achilles tendon, gashed head, shrapnel injuries, and severe burns.

In April 2013, Mr Wells and his father felt the ground shake and narrowly escaped death in the US when a pressure-cooker bomb exploded a block away from where they were watching his mother run the Boston Marathon.
