There are still dozens of passengers being escorted out of the Brussels airport security zone, a day on from the biggest terrorist atrocity to hit Belgium. They were guests at the Sheraton Airport hotel.
Security services had advised spending the night at the hotel for their own safety, and intelligence officers have been visiting each room, interviewing guests and looking for anything suspicious. The hotel foyer became the immediate triage area for medical teams, bringing in the casualties and the bodies of those who died.
Now, dozens of military police and soldiers guard the airport entrance, with access only for forensic teams, investigators and airport staff. Several 'ghost flights' with no passengers on board set off this afternoon. Airlines are starting to move their aircrafts elsewhere, aware that 'business as usual' at Brussels airport could be a long way off.
