Just hours ago, tragedy struck the city of Brussels, Belgium, as a pair of explosions at the capital's airport and another at a local subway station killed dozens of morning commuters and injured at least 130 more (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/brussels-airport-explosions_us_56f0f754e4b084c6722146dc).
Details of the attacks are sickening. Stories from the scenes (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/brussels-attack-video_us_56f12f24e4b03a640a6b7e3a) are sobering. Brussels, greater Belgium and the entire world (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/world-leaders-react-brussels-attacks_us_56f129c2e4b084c67221485b) are thinking of and praying for those affected in what the nation’s prime minister has already condemned as a “violent (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/23/world/europe/brussels-airport-explosions.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&cl ickSource=story-heading&module=span-ab-top-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0)” and “cowardly (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/23/world/europe/brussels-airport-explosions.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&cl ickSource=story-heading&module=span-ab-top-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0)” act.
While we hold our collective breath as the aftermath unfolds, a few well-known names from the Belgian national soccer team -- including captain Vincent Kompany -- have decided to use the moment and their wide-reaching platform to preach unity rather than hate; love rather than retribution.
1) Horrified and revolted. Innocent people paying the price again. My thoughts are with the families of the victims. #Brussels (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Brussels?src=hash)

2) I wish for Brussels to act with dignity. We are all hurting, yet we must reject hate and its preachers. As hard as it may be. #Brussels (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Brussels?src=hash)
