Budapest-Brussels flight lands safely; security increased
A plane arriving from Budapest landed safely in Brussels minutes before two explosions at Zavantem Airport this morning, and it was taken to a safe hangar, according to reports. A Hungarian man and woman were hospitalized after being injured in the explosions in Brussels this morning, the Hungarian ambassador said.
